Mass exodus to come

Pros

You can work on some high profile jobs if you are well connected enough within the company. Benefits are better than most companies.

Cons

No respect for work life balance. If you are salaried and non billable expect to work 60-80 hours a week to make up for the overtime the non salaried people are not allowed to put in as AECOM is squeezing everything they can out of their employees. If you are billable and your utilization is not above 90% you will not last long. All non-billable paperwork must be completed on your own time pro bono. Too many levels of management to get anything approved. AECOM has kept all the management from the operating companies that they forced together. This has lead to a multilayered labyrinth of no one knowing who can do what. There will be a mass exodus come December 15th when lack of salary increases and new titles are announced. This will be the final straw for most.

AECOM, micromanagment of insignificant things

Pros

Large company with lots of opportunities to work if you are an engineer

Cons

Too large, too impersonal, promote executive achievements, forget the people who make the projects happen; are concerned more so with upper management than middle and lower management employees; micromanage things like how many kilowatts an employee will use, ask geoscientists and engineers to become accountants, move 30 year career people from an office into a cube adjacent to a kid out of college, giving each the same amount of space and amenities to do their completely unequal amounts of work. AECOM either does not have the foresight to know how their decisions will affect employees or they don't care.
