Pros
-Good compensation in terms of salary and benefits -Work on good projects -Office opportunities (almost) everywhere -Weathered bad economy relatively well -Career advancement is real
Cons
-In the office I worked in, workaholics dominated, especially in management (this may be the same everywhere). This resulted in great pressures exerted on staff to be workaholics too and keep up. The worst thing about AECOM (my office in particular! I want to emphasize this) was the lack of appreciation of a life outside of work. It was as if it didn't exist. -My heritage company was M&E. If QMS means anything to you, I need say no more. Bottom line: lots of internal paperwork for employees, and it's miserable. -I liked it better as M&E. I bet a lot of heritage employees do too. Who builds up a reputation and a name for 100 years only to throw it away? In meetings they told us it would save a lot of money in legal fees and stuff like that. The almighty bottom line. Of course, did salaries adjust for these savings?
