Not what it used to be

Pros

Some great people but they are fewer are farther between...

Cons

Over the last few years the company has become so obsessed with profits that it has completely lost sight of doing quality work or caring about the employees. Benefits costs have more than doubled with much worse coverage. The review process has become a joke as the performance rating is completely divorced from the employee's actual performance. It is almost as though they are trying to frustrate employees to the point where they quit. In my case I think it is working. My resume is up to date and I will be looking for other work.

AECOM International Development -- Sexist, racist, unethical

Anonymous employee

CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Extremely competitive salaries. Some flexibility (telework, etc.), depending on manager.

Cons

Leadership--seven VPs, all men, all but one white--consistently perpetuate a sexist, racist, ageist culture. In contrast, the majority of the staff (non-VP level) are well-educated, hard-working young and mid-career females whose voices are repeatedly either ignored (including when it comes to sexual harassment, racial discrimination, etc. to the point that some staff are afraid to come to the office) or stolen (e.g., having ideas misrepresented by colleagues as their own). Policies in place for ethics are totally disregarded from the leadership team demonstrating the level/lack of respect for the staff and fomenting / normalizing unethical behaviors of other staff. Zero business strategy--poor performance on a number of projects, inability to win bids (including follow-ons). Benefits (paid time off, health, etc.) are bare minimum.

Too Many Changes - Too Corporate

Pros

The salary is good. They are almost anywhere you care to live.

Cons

Company is too big. Leadership cares more about profits than the employees. They keep cutting benefits and increasing the cost of health insurance. They are required to fit employee evaluations to a "bell curve."
