Arup Singapore Reviews

It is very transparent, they even have a PDF that shows you what you should be attaining at each grade. This allows you to mark yourself with the Arup standards and requirements.

There are many funds rolled out for staff to apply and explore alternative scope of work

There are plenty of chances to mingle with colleagues both within and beyond my immediate team, and a number of after-work regular activities (e.g. sports) that one can sign up for. Even though there is technically a hierarchy of different roles, it is pretty flat in the sense that we can approach our bosses in a candid and honest manner.

Arup has a strong diversity stands and I am glad we do. As we grow, these are becoming global topics and its great to be part of a company that is inclusive.

I am given tasks that the team believes I can carry out independently. They are also present for me to go and clarify things with. We are a small team and as such the learning curve is steep but we have that safety net to learn and fall down. Knowing that our team leader trust us and gives us tasks shows that the team believes in our growth and capabilities.

They talk to us at least fortnightly. I can openly raise up my concerns to them and they do try their best to help me improve.

The office is situated in town, and a short walk from the subway station, so it is pretty convenient. There aren't many facilities available, but there are the essentials such as a pantry, shower room etc. The dress code is also pretty flexible-- although it is technically smart casual for most of the week, one can get away with more casual wear too when there aren't meetings with clients, especially since we have people going to site.

The interview process was very informal and done over coffee. The assessment feels very personal according to who the interviewer was and what they are looking out for.

Our bonusses are good. Our pay could increase a little more to be competitive with the market.

There is a portal that we can go onto to learn about lots of things ranging from technical to management skills, and other sites where we can network with colleagues across the globe to share and solve issues.

It is quite flexible-- apart from the 2 fixed team days where everyone is my team is expected to be in the office, I just need to come into office on one other day. We can also work from anytime between 7am to 7pm, as long as we clock in minimally 40 hours each week.
