I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at AECOM (Brisbane) in Apr 2012
Interview
one dimensional, with typical questions to respond to. Hiring manager was not equipped with good interview etiquette. Senior manager who was scheduled to be present failed to turn up without an apology. Typical HR person present to ask the 'pointless' questions and to tell me how good the company is at looking after employees.

Question 1
can you name another project similar to our core business that would be relevant?
The interview process was 3 interviews over teams and were overall polite and friendly. The interviews were with seniors PMs and they were asking where I would wish to be seconded and what projects I have worked on previously.

I applied online. I interviewed at AECOM (Edimburgo, Escocia) in Jan 2026
Interview
Interview was good, sensible questions that assessed how well you would do at the job. The 2 people interviewing were great and so friendly. Sadly waited 4 weeks for a response and was then told I was unsuccessful.
Interviewed with someone I was already professionally connected to who supported me throughout the hiring process. In my experience it was better to have connections there to get hired. They also valued community/client connections very highly.
