Pros

Benefit plan was good Good flexibility and work life balance (mainly because the company can't motivate or resource staff to get and execute work)

Cons

This company is entirely driven by cash flow and stock price. Opportunities for promotion are slim and shrinking. The company sets lofty goals with no plans, resources, or leadership. As such, AECOM's unfilled promises to Wall Street are killing the stock price. The company is reactionary not visionary. Unwilling to invest in hiring or training good people. Absolutely oppressive environment and demand for utilization is unrealistic given the demand for revenue generation. Morale is awful. This company was born from the clumsy merger of several other firms; therefore, management systems are repetitive, useless, or irrelevant.

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)
