Great opportunities, poor culture

Project engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great opportunities to work in different offices internationally. Being a large, multi-disciplinary company, there are opportunities to gain experience on large-scale projects. Access to AECOM's technical experts through 'Technical Practice Network'.

Cons

These comments apply to the North American water business line only. The business lacks leadership. Recent poor performance and layoffs have led to large staff turnover and extremely low morale. Project quality is suffering. Too many layers of management, and it's not clear what they all do.

Pros

AECOM gives you a chance to work throughout all areas and help develop your skills in a wide variety of engineering areas rather than focus you to one particular group.

Cons

It is a big commercial engineering company that is publicly traded so there is no chance to ever becoming an associate.

Business Outlook

Pros

Once a great firm that took care of their employees. Opportunities for working on a number of prestigious projects in the UK and around the globe in theory. A lot of great people.

Cons

Now just a corporate money machine where you feel little more than a number. Employee dissatisfaction is very evident.
