Pros

Opportunity to work on interesting, challenging high profile projects. Worked with some great professionals Offices in interesting countries,cities

Cons

Employees are numbers - loyalty, commitment, outstanding work history irrelevant to Aecom's "decision-makers." It's all about bottom line, overheads expendable no matter the role. Soulless/arrogant - shown the door within hr of axing, no matter longevity with company, just a number to be crunched & deleted. Silo mentality, no communication from top down, soulless, toxic work environment, people treated like dirt there to bring in $$$ for US & shareholders. Too big - devouring smaller companies/competitors

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)
