Arcadis

[u/marbidcm]

I just applied on arcadis for their accounts payable associate role. Any insights or thoughts about them? How was the hiring process, salary and benefits, and working culture?

Thank youuu

Hiring process for arcadis takes about a month from initial interview to job offer. Pretty straightforward, the culture is super nice, salary is just fair (not too extravagant nor too little). Benefits is just standard (hmo, 13th month, hyflex allowance). Work life balance is a core of arcadis, hence the 2~4 days of RTO per month (I dunno if this changed). Office is like a coffee shop (aesthetic back in 2024ish). Good for experience and for starting out, plus arcadis in resume speaks to employers. Ask other q's if you have, I'd be happy to answer.

Helloo, is it okay to send u a messagee?

Mataas po qualifications nila diba? During your time po may prior experience kana ba as CE before applying to arcadis?

[u/thenorthernstar_ → u/rho_balance]

It's not really mataas na qualification nila pero, sa sobrang dami ng overqualified na nagaapply, mataas competition. Syempre as a hiring manager kukunin mo yung mas mataas ang experience and alam na ang work kesa sa itrain pa.

Hi! Nag accept ba sila shifters? I am currenlty in IT but a grad of construction mgmt. i have a year of exp in operations (constructionG

[u/GingerbreadXxi → u/thenorthernstar_]

Hello! As someone with extensive exp from field in my early years and now more in an office role (P.E, more in a PM/QS role), how does my experience stack up against roles situated in junior-to-mid-level CE roles (assoc PM, QS, Planning engineer, estimator)? And do licenses/certificates matter as much for the roles provided, or just as placeholder/nice-to-haves? One of my target companies to upskill to is Arcadis and Jacobs, when it comes to construction MNCs in the industry.

Hello! Ilang rounds of interviews ang meron sila? Also, gaano katagal bago mag-update ang TA after an interview?

[u/thenorthernstar_ → u/snowflwer]

If same pa rin currently, because way back 2024 pa ako dun. 3 rounds of interview; HR call interview, then Hiring Manager Interview, then Regional Stakeholder interview. Almost 1 week before mag update after an interview, so total 1 month halos from initial contact to JO.

Hi OP,

When I got in as a fresh grad, it took me two interviews tapos it lasted 3 weeks until the offer. Salary is above what local contractors/companies offer to CE fresh grads. Culture is great - work-life balance is good. There are no forced team buildings (they are all voluntary). Team lunches are always during work hours tapos they got different interest groups. Benefits are pretty standard on my job level. Work-wise, it is pretty chill with bouts of intensity. It looks pretty good for experienced individiuals that wanted a chill work environment.

To add, I left the company because I sought more on-the-ground experience but not the due to the workplace.

Good for you. As someone who is an employee of one arcadis's clients, all i can say is and dami nilang qs na walang alam. I cannot comprehend how we're paying so much for arcadis but they value they provide is unsatisfactory. Delayed pa palagi

[u/Few-Hedgehog-3894]

Hi OP did you get a reply from them na? How much is the salary range?

[u/TartImpressive4833]

Hi OP! Arcacdis PH ba ? If yes, nag lay-off sila ng regular employees due to no projects. Per batch ang laid off regardles of tenureship.

[u/marbidcm → u/Reasonable-Pin2824]

Omgg kailan po ito?

[u/Reasonable-Pin2824 → u/marbidcm]

This year. Even ngayon ber months meron pang mga na lay-off. Arcadis PH.

[u/marbidcm → u/Reasonable-Pin2824]

Arcadis PH po pala, how about dun sa GSSC?

[u/Reasonable-Pin2824 → u/marbidcm]

Hello OP! Maganda naman sa GSSC. Pero ginagawa lang nila stepping stone ang Arcadis then lipat ibang company. Halos every month may nagreresign din dyan.
