      Approves of CEO

      I have been working at Arcadis full-time for more than 3 years

      Pros

      Most of the people I dealt with are easy to get on with.

      Cons

      My main experience with the Facilities team has been laziness, incompetence and not so subtle racism. To be fair, this doesn't apply to everyone, but it does start at the top.

      Advice to Management

      Decide what you standards are and apply them to everyone.
