Pros

I was with URS, which was acquired by AECOM. The local management had built an excellent group of employees. Everyone was willing to work hard and contribute.

Cons

AECOM does not care about their employees, only billable hours and the bottom line. Morale is low and good people are leaving. Training budgets were signigicantly reduced, some employees were told they would need to charge their time to PTO if they wanted training. Benefits were cut, inluding 401k match and vacaiton time. Upper management makes decisions and changes without listening to employee concerns. Big changes are announced to everyone at the same time, and no one is able to answer questions. IT systems and support were very poor and getting worse. From an IT perspective, it seemed the company was putting obstacle after obstacle in my way, making it harder to do my job.

Pros

Decent company, good stock plan, good people who want to see you grow

Cons

Very remote management makes things hard, very little team work is locally siloed so its hard for managers to understand the boots on the ground view. Managers are great people but spread very thin, sometimes they accept work before having staff for it(classic consulting move)
