Pros

pay was good and benefits to some extent

Cons

you are just a cog in the machine. short-sighted management lives by the monthly tick of the stock price and not what will make the company better. they believe they can just keep acquiring other companies to keep the growth going while frustrating their employees with burdensome paperwork that doesn't help project budgets. if AECOM decides your location or business line is not of value to them, you are gone no matter what your work ethic/history has been.

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)
