Pros

- Great pay - Smart people - All the resources in the world can be promised.

Cons

- If you are in a remote part of the country, all resources are promised but none can be delivered. - Attorneys will make sure you never have a signed MSA. - Employment is week to week depending on your utilization. - If you are in a satellite office you really don't exist and you have no future within AECOM. At best you are a hired mercenary focused on bringing in as much money in as short time as possible. - AECOM answers to its shareholders, not its clients or employees. - Zero client focus, driven from the top down. - AECOM does not take the long term view, they don't care if they burn bridges or ruin client relationships as so long as they have made money. - Chases projects, not clients.

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)
