Pros

Pay is good but that's about it.

Cons

Just about everything else. The Norfolk office is still going by URS and fighting rebranding to AECOM. One person tries to tell everybody what to do. You are not heard and you can easily work 60-70 hours a week. They talk out of both sides of their mouth! Oh no we don't want anyone to have to work over 40 but then if work gets behind....why aren't you working over. Everything you do is watched. Nothing is good enough.Horrible petty upper management. Do not join the Norfolk AECOM office. The others areas of AECOM seem to have reasonable professionals and not the cattiness we put up with.

Pros

Flexible work hours. Great people to work with. It's truly amazing that so many talented staff are still at AECOM. As the pointed-headed boss in Dilbert would say, AECOM management likes the employees to be bright, but clueless. Opportunities to work on some great projects with some good clients.

Cons

So much talent wasted on work for an organization whose management doesn't seem to care about the employees, about the clients, about subcontractors, or about ethical business practices. Upper management doesn't seem to care whether the company disintegrates in 6 month or a year, as long as the monthly and quarterly profits look good on the books. Advice to junior staff: don't waste your career working for this organization. Find a better company soon. Advice to people considering employment at AECOM: look elsewhere.

AECOM NOT AN ENGINEERING COMPANY. IT IS A JOB SHOP

Business Outlook

Pros

AECOM does not have any.

Cons

Poor management. Just interested in buying other firms to make money off them. No communication between employees who do the actual work and management. There is no effective HR. Misleading and fraudulent company.
