Pros

Large company that provides a stable existence which is better then unemployment. (False) Positive Reputation looks good on CV.

Cons

This company seems more interested in its image than anything else. There is a culture of office politics which promotes kakistocracy and an oppressive environment. Graduates are expected to meet an unrealistic 90% utilization rate, however are dependent on their superiors to provide them work. Billable hours and performance targets are the sole concern for the organisation, no focus on personal development or outstanding work. AECOM's business model is to grow by aggressive acquisition which leads to dysfunctional systems, mass dissatisfaction and a high staff turnover rate. The business seeks to win government contacts and overcharge for ghost hours.

Pros

Some high profile projects which are good on your portfolio

Cons

No direction and leadership. Projects are always overdelivered at the expense of employee welfare. Zero talent retention initiatives. Zero training. No structured career progression. Management leads people on with empty promises. Overall, company treats people like a pawn.
