Business Outlook

Pros

Involved in the leading transportation engineering projects around the world. In my time at aecom, I had the opportunity to work on several of these once in a life time projects. Worked with some very talented people.

Cons

Since going public, there has been an emphasis on cash and profitability. While understandable and even an industry trend, this emphasis isn't well received and adds to a negative connotation. Aecom spends a lot of time trying to figure out the right mix between business lines and geographic regions and I still don't believe they have found the right mix.

Hard work, little gain. No attempt to keep top talent, whilst senior management cream the few rewards

Business Outlook

Pros

Used to be full of good people. Some very technically good engineers. Legacy companies were great to work for. You get to go home eventually once work as finished.

Cons

Dreadful, below market pay. Head in the sand senior management approach. Exploitative of staff. No idea of how to make the company great. Very unthankful culture, leading to demotivation of staff. Exodus of best staff with inability to recruit talent.
