Pros

The company is perceived to have a good brand, which will help you get a job after Aurecon

Cons

Internal competition and politics between managers creates an awful environment for the lower ranks Middle management get away with doing as little as possible, and when things don’t go their way they blame their subordinates Multiple harassment claims were made against certain managers, with insufficient action done by the company Timesheets are gospel, and utilisation under 100% is considered unacceptable (learning and development, sick leave and annual leave was not tolerated) It is a private company, so managers who have been made owners are only looking out for their profit and loss sheets and to maintain ownership

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

Some good people who believe in improving things but are mostly trying to make the best of their situation.

Cons

It’s a joke who they put in power to run the place. Management should ask themselves why the turnover is so high. Look at the number of job listings. No one wants to stay after realizing the joke is on them if they choose to stick it out. Lots of empty promises but management just trying to make themselves look good.
