Pros

Large company leads to some benefits that include: Work on major projects International opportunities Access to technical experts

Cons

Mergers of historical opcos has been VERY poor Company only interested in pushing more out of employees for less pay. Past 3 yrs client billing rates have increased 30-50%, personal pay has increase 8%. No coordination between marketing/management from place to place. No defined career path for staff No "fast track" for junior staff (promotions non-existant recently)

Pros

There are good places to eat near the office and some great pubs for lunch-time refreshment. However even being able to afford lunch on the meagre wages paid by Aecom is a struggle. Nothing really positive to say about the actual company.

Cons

Minimal prospect for career advancement. Company wishes to extract blood from all employees and give as little as possible in return. Graduates are indoctrinated to learn the company values which it then totally ignores when it comes to treatment of its own employees. Easily the worst company I’ve worked for and it continues to go downhill.
