Pros

The people I work with directly are wonderful.

Cons

High level management are not supportive or appreciative of employees. Profit driven only. Worst is an environment where staff and management are extremely competitive with other staff/management instead of working as a team.

Pros

1. Potential to get involved with some high profile projects. 2. Good office culture in some offices 3. Generally there are some good people working for AECOM. 4. Good safety culture

Cons

1. Pay and benefits are atrocious. Do not be fooled by the relatively good starting salaries for graduates they will not last too long 2. Promises for pay/promotion/chartership rewards are not kept. 3. No reward is given based on performance. Do not let the myth of "Performance and Rewards" fool you. 4. High staff turnover, especially young engineers. 5. You are treated as just a number with a constant push for 100% utilisation 6. Work long hours-No overtime paid 7. Services like IT are to be outsourced at the moment and several people will loose their jobs. The service employees will get from the external provider is unsure. 8. We hear of many redundancies recently which does not help with the overall feeling towards the company.

Pros

Might look ok on your CV when you eventually leave Aecom is 10/10 at making people feel awful. If you love feeling low, demoralized and on the verge of a breakdown, then aecom is for you! There is an unlimited number of staff who can slap you down. This feature oc aecom is unrivaled - just too good. Aecom is terrific at promoting incompetent people and ignoring gaping serious behavioural issues. If you're a psychopath and want to treat people however YOU want (swearing, yelling, intimidation and more!), definitely apply here. You will fit in so well! You may face competition from the other bullies though so heed that warning because you won't get to be the sole bully (sad face). Otherwise it's free reign - go crazy - you won't get disciplined EVER! Aecom is THE BEST at pretending systemic issues don't exist. Ive never seen such great actors + actresses in management before. Where have they been trained and why aren't they on Home and Away? Their talents are being wasted (sad face). Their acting ability would be ahh-mazing on tv, movies or better yet, the theatre!

Cons

Terrible oppressive environment and culture Weak management that can't be trusted Useless incompetent HR Disregard for a safe work environment Ridiculous expectations Finger pointing and blame Losing your sanity
