Pros

Mmm? ...There are some talented and pleasant people who work here. However, they are not encouraged to be kind or to express their talent freely. Nor are they rewarded for their talents or dedication. They will likely be ushered out the door shortly.

Cons

There are so many... - this is an uncoordinated mess without ethical behaviour - while of course the company has to make money, this one does so by overworking employees to the point of exhaustion, with no commendation or rewards for key contributors. - finances, policies, health & safety, inter-office relations are in shambles - this is a company that treats its employees as a disposable commodity. - AECOM is essentially a broker of people. It's a sweat shop. If you can handle that sort if arrangement you would do much better for yourself to consult on your own. AECOM will not do anything for you.
