Pros

Handing in my letter of resignation.

Cons

If you want to be paid about half your market value, receive no training and support, go from being an engineer to an accountant/over due bill chaser, and at the same time be told your projects are not meeting the ever shifting Aurecon financial KPI's then this is your dream place to work. Wait... I forgot to mention to expect your people manager to take credit for your effort so he gets your raise and that he/she will offload their poorly performing projects to you. If your the lowest paid you will be very popular with the project leaders but if you ask for something above the minimum wage expect to be left out to dry.

Pros

Some good exciting projects while the work was going. Met some good people. Not much else really....

Cons

There seemed to be an every man for himself protectionist attitude. Its not what you know but who you can suck up too that gets one places (advancement, pay rise, job safe etc) in my experience with Aurecon. Heavy focus on old boys club with their favourite pets by senior management. The rest are expendable and couldn't really care what happens to them. Lack of effective communication, inspiration and direction by management. The company also seems to be overly bloated by bureaucratic procedures and endless form filling out. Career advancement seems to be merely a box ticking exercise. Employees wishes in regards to experience and career advancement take a back seat. Extremely top heavy management structure. Expectations on staff to "put in the big ones" but no gratitude or reward for doing so. To be fair alot of these cons are experienced at other companies so not unique to Aurecon. Aurecon just seemed to be totally accepting of these short comings and unapologetic about it

Pros

*The flexibility at work was major pro. You deliver your products at your peak productive times. * I met some really good project managers that i could learn from. Some great mentors. * They have amazing projects. * if you have a decade of experience before you join the company, you will do really well.

Cons

* They over hired at some point and got rid of people because they couldn't bag projects. How unplanned they must be to do that? Add to it, they leave you alone when you don't have projects and then fire you when you finally have work on your plate.Just when you think you are doing well, you are out. That shows poor planning on their end. * They hire inexperienced people without any actual world experience and expect them to create wonders.
