      Pros

      Not many unless you are upper management.

      Cons

      Constant nickel and dimeing to reduce employee cost. Last year I received a small raise but then lost two vacation days and changes to my stock benefits that will cost me 10x more than my raise. This was blamed on rising cost but at the same time the CEO received a $10 million bonus.

      Pros

      While I was at AECOM for years I did develop an awesome relationship with the coworkers in my department. We still keep in touch to this very day. We felt like we had to stick together as one and protect each other from the cruel and unfeeling upper management.

      Cons

      AECOM did not carry on with the "business as usual" line they fed everyone when we merged in 2007. Every year we would hear horror stories on how this person or that person got laid off. It was a very hostile work environment to be in. A lot of work was dumped on me, and my pay wasn't matching the amount of work being pushed on me. You always heard about what you did wrong, but never heard about what you did right. I was stuck doing and being responsible for Project Managers work and I was the one being looked at when something went wrong instead of the Project Manager. If I wanted a babysitting job then that's what I would have went out to get. I felt like I was babysitting people above my pay grade and taking THEIR punishment when thing went wrong. In the end I could never charge hours to project work and was looked at when I charged to overhead. What choice did I have?

      Pros

      Big enough to deliver and in most cases will deliver to clients but if extra effort is needed it will not happen as budgets and costs are sacrosanct and will not be exceeded even if it is an Aecom problem.

      Cons

      Consatntly changing management, either leaving or moving internaly to avoid developing issues. A terrible culture with bullying and blame culture used to cover up ineptitude. Not a place to spend an entire career unless you undertake a frontal lobotomy and are willing to be treated with deference.
