Pros

I've been trying and trying and trying, but I cannot come up with anything good to say about this company. I worked at URS for 15 years and one month before we were acquired by AECOM. It then took nine months for the Grim Reaper to find me.

Cons

This is a company that does not value its employees. When AECOM acquired URS in Jan 2015, there were ~100,000 employees. Now my former colleagues tell me they're down to ~85,000. Employee morale is in the toilet as everyone wonders if they're next. Salaries are low. Benefits aren't. There is constant reorganization; one AECOM old-timer told me he'd been through 26 reorganizations in 22 years.

Pros

Nothing I can think of except the name being largest civil engineering firm that keeps buying other civil engineering companies

Cons

Everything starting with no support professionally, technically, and emotionally to staff. Big disconnect between managers and technical employees, no support in developing professionally at all! Managers act extremely unprofessional!

Pros

I've really enjoyed working with the engineers and other product team members in this office. Developing solutions to get the job done quickly and efficiently. Some employees top-notch while others should apply to 7-11.

Cons

AECOM bought URS, as part of this merge started showing signs of it. Research shows that URS is 18% below the market on competitive salaries. The project I worked, was very demanding, and I enjoyed that. However, being an exempt employee, with the amount of overtime accrued was never compensated.
