Business Outlook

Pros

there are opportunities to wok on some really and challenging projects. the new valley office is impressive the coffee machine in the new office is excellent

Cons

Senior management is made up of a network of males promoted and rewarded largely on the basis of their relationships with each other rather than any aptitude for their job. There is a glass ceiling that seems to prevent female engineers from taking that next step in the business.

Business Outlook

Pros

Got to do very interesting work that mattered. Was allowed to use expertise and make decisions without micromanagement. Quality efforts were rewarded.

Cons

No organized effort to establish career paths. Little access to professional development. As a government contractor, people were often let go without notice or serverance when contracts expired.

Business Outlook

Pros

Met some great & smart people in the various business lines

Cons

All this company cares about is winning projects, making a profit, and acquiring more companies. They do not seem to care about their employees. There is no proper leadership; no structure; lack of proper policies/procedures in place; upper management & HR leadership seem complacent and seem to put up with incompetence; no career advancement (don't even think about it here); no one wants to take ownership & responsibility and things takes a long time to get done. People seem unhappy (low morale) and I have heard some say they are just waiting for the economy to change to escape this place. That is not good for AECOM but upper management don't seem to care (live for the moment I guess)
