Pros

There are a lot of good people at AECOM. One positive is in a large company, like this one, you can leverage, like employee discounts, which are extremely good here as compared to other organizations. When hired, I was able to get a corporate card even though my credit rating was shaky at the time. I like the integration of the AmEx expenses into the online expense reporting.

Cons

Negatives - In a company this large you can get lost in the sea of employees and management may take you for granted, until something goes wrong. Then the finger pointing begins. No one takes ownership for processes, procedures, and work products that may come into question. Health benefits were very good when I was initially hired but have subsequently declined and more of the cost-sharing burden has been put on the employee. Holidays are few and far between. There is no formal vacation or sick time. It is all rolled into Paid Time Off which is not a selling point. Employee Performance Rating System has changed but it still may not accurately reflect an employee's true contribution to the company, because the purse strings could be held by a senior manager who rewards those who he/she knows personally and those who are not in the circle of trust are not fairly compensated. No room for advancement. The organization is Financial centric and driven by an IT agenda.

Pros

Big company, spare no expense. Can work independently with little question of the quality of your work

Cons

Managers are just that; managers. They don't know the nuts and bolts (technical) of the business. They keep projects rolling. Lower level guys stay on the road 24/7. Very very very limited room for professional growth or advancement. Your degree does not give you any more say than someone who doesn't have a degree. Politically driven company.

Pros

Some good people. OK for entry level.

Cons

They don't care about anything but profits - quality, their employees, clients, reputation, everything takes a back seat. It may be an OK place for entry level employees, but if you are managing projects, stay away - far far away.
