Pros

Exposure to many Interesting projects worldwide. There are individual offices that have truly exceptional staff with a strong desire to do quality work.

Cons

AECOM is an amalgam of many companies acquired over the last 5 or 6 years. Most of the decision makers are people from the very early acquisitions. As the corporation has grown many of these "early to the party" people have been promoted into jobs for which they have little aptitude or interest. Unfortunately many exceptional people have voluntarily left out frustration. Frustration for not being heard, or worse yet, heard but not understood.

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)
