Pros

Some flexibility with hours and able to purchase leave

Cons

Forced compulsory taking of leave on one occasion on about 6 weeks notice that all staff forced to take about 3 weeks compulsory leave; redundancies of senior staff who are respected and for whom subordinates came to Aurecon to work with; management treating staff like morons (eg informing staff that statutory increase in super of .5% was a genuine Aurecon initiated pay increase; considerable internal email spam from CEO down; lack of understanding of the human condition; no dividend on shares last year; incredibly political; you need to align yourself with bullying management and bully staff to meet project milestones = your path to promotion; do not turn down shares which you purchase or you will be freezed out of the Machiavellian club of Aurecon success

Business Outlook

Pros

Large Corporation and company. A lot of fringe benefits if you are an associate. They have an good operation system for delivering jobs.

Cons

Engineers are working bees of the company. A lots of overhead such as legal team, marketing, communication team. Drafting outsourced overseas like other big consultants. Work load is a concern. As it could be very busy and have overtime without pay.
