Pros

Opportunity to work on interesting, challenging high profile projects. Worked with some great professionals Offices in interesting countries,cities

Cons

Employees are numbers - loyalty, commitment, outstanding work history irrelevant to Aecom's "decision-makers." It's all about bottom line, overheads expendable no matter the role. Soulless/arrogant - shown the door within hr of axing, no matter longevity with company, just a number to be crunched & deleted. Silo mentality, no communication from top down, soulless, toxic work environment, people treated like dirt there to bring in $$$ for US & shareholders. Too big - devouring smaller companies/competitors

Some great people but the incentives (monetary and personnel development) are out of balance with the effort required.

Pros

Reasonable work life balance, some degree of flexibility in start/end time. Diverse range of project types and size. Industry leading personnel.

Cons

- Matrix structure makes advancement within the company very difficult: too many hurdles to get over to gain authority to do small tasks. - Not enough trust put in employees that they are capable of doing the job - general trend appears to be not to promote from within. - very risk adverse.
