Pros

Type of projects Colleagues skills + networking Morning teas The constant programs for safety in design

Cons

Fully focused on profit over quality of projects. Their rates are too high for the market and hence the employees need to put more of their own time to meet the basic expectations. Just to mention the burden rates (FBLRs) have already a profit or contingency over the expected profit. Career growth. If you are not a graduate, the chances of getting some training are really low and management has trivial excuses to avoid it. Lack of planning for people's goals, it seems that there is a lot going on for the company's goals but almost nothing for the employees. The internal performance review program is useless. There is a lack of connectivity among employees and if you walk through the fancy building (1000 people in mine) you can feel in the ambiance a mediocre machinery full of tagged people with numbers getting atrophiated in a completely silent environment.

Pros

People are focused and hardworking. The projects are really exciting and inspiring. Senior management is hands on and responsive.

Cons

A lot of "legacy" companies hanging on to their former work styles and affiliations have a difficult time becoming a true AECOM employee.

Pros

Leftover legacy memorabilia and coworkers...that are still here

Cons

-if you are a young engineer with a bright mind, I can guarantee you will be exploited for profit -old-school DMJM Harris cronies built this mess of a company for one goal (to make money), not to better the world or strengthen the working class -profits are funneled to the top (aka: wall-street, acquisition debt and upper management) and that's where it stays. There is absolutely no sharing to the brilliant pee-on's that actually perform the work, attract clients, and bust butt to maintain business relationships.
