Pros

Great challenge, keep learning, lots of benefit

Cons

From the good old Connell Mott MacDonald days to Aurecon, the company keeps changing its business operation, IT operation, document control, business procedure, etc. Aurecon's intranet interfaces, templates, BST, etc are constantly changing. As an employee, it is very hard to keep track of the changes. Heaps of paperwork and redundant admin work to deal with in addition to real engineering work. Aurecon has sadly turned into a toxic workplace environment with poor morale and some uninspiring arrogant leaders. Management ppl mindlessly chasing financial numbers. Weekly performance of individual employee are closely monitored and emailed to everyone. P&D is a joke and total waste of time, every year everyone spend significant amount of working hours doing it it for the sake of fulfilling the ORGANIZATION requirements. KPIs are poorly set, and impossible to meet. Due to sick culture and poor leadership, this place is encouraging selfishness... Stagnant wages, no work/life balance, lots of unhappy people. High turnover rate.

Pros

Collaborative culture. Good word life balance and support of training opportunities. Active social scene. Opportunities for overseas secondments.

Cons

Recognition is not linked to individuals performance, only to overall company performance. A lot of time consuming systems and processes.

Pros

Job security as it has good flow of workload in the current market.

Cons

Low pay. Your pay will not be brought up to the market rate once you are in no matter how long you are there unless you get a significant promotion (with benefits). Pay reviews are only done to fill forms. 0 increase while i was there (no inflation increase either). I was told i would need to keep my KPIs up to be considered for a salary review - but few years in a row - did not get one even after meeting the expectations. Others got promoted despite not being chargable the whole year!!!!! Pigeonholed - you cannot work in other fields or move between departments if you are interested in other disciplines to grow your expertise - choose wisely!
