Pros

Opportunity to work on interesting projects Intellectual challenge; variety in my work Supportive immediate supervisors Local office that focuses on sustainability

Cons

Company acquires other firms faster than it can integrate the processes of the existing ones Friendlier cultures of legacy companies (at least mine) have been destroyed Too much paper pushing required at the expense of getting the actual project work done Constant deadlines that have become so tight that either quality or work-life balance (sometimes both) must be sacrificed

Pros

The company has great people.

Cons

The worst part about the job is the constant scramble and pressure to make billability goals. This creates a stressful work environment.

Pros

Exposure to a wide variety of projects and types of work.

Cons

The local management (and it probably comes from their management) promotes and uses underlying threats to get professionals to 'work for free' so they can 'meet their budgets' and get bonuses. The concerning aspect of this practice is that it is contrary to AECOM's timesheet recording policies. I worry that this will promote unethical management practices.
