The only assets are the workforce and they don’t acknowledge it.

Princioal engineer

Business Outlook

Pros

People doing the work are genuinely going their best, the business has no idea of the issues.

Cons

Very poor engagement from National leadership team; salaries are low and the business doesn’t acknowledge or do anything about it; IT is shockingly bad, it takes days/weeks to get the most simple things done; very beaurocratic, decisions made at national level without consideration of local needs/issues. A business driven by the right message (for shareholders) which doesn’t follow through to form any benefit to staff or clients. Very, very poor.

Business Outlook

Pros

So I was working in the Aecom, Gurgaon GDC Branch. Except for the brand name there is no Pros

Cons

Cons for starter they will bring your confidence down. They also hold the power to hire and fire you. Hire you because u will get attracted to the name and fire you because they have no work. Some times they have work like mountains and sometimes its desert. Increment is one thing they wanna hide from the world. Its peanuts like literally peanuts and they would tell you that u dint do great work and the employees are like what about the time we stayed all night to pull the submissions. And God forbids if u dare resign. They cant let u go not because u are suddenly valuable but because how dare u leave them. Exit procedure take months. So calculate before joining this Branch.

Cons

Never in any of my jobs have i felt so unsupported, un cared for, uninspired and completely and utterly lonley. It clear that this company is a bureaucratic beast with no insight to the needs of its people.
