Merger Missteps

Pros

Large Company with deep talent if you can find it. Vast company resources and strong media for employees. Networking and leveraging is essential, but takes time.

Cons

Merger with URS was not as smooth as it should have been. Managers were let go that should have been kept, and integration of the various business lines did not create the desired coordination.

They lie - "recognizing that our people are our most valuable resource"

Pros

Once you leave AECOM any job seems like the best in the world. Health Insurance isn't too bad especially since I am on new medications due to the stress of the job.

Cons

- I wish more people looked at this site before working for or doing work with aecom. - they lie they are not flexible on schedules. - I have no idea why they got an award for choice employer. - Employee well being is of no concern to them - only care about saving a dollar and making more - no communication from top management or across departments. - they do not look for process improvements. Drones only wanted. Suggest improvements think outside the box you'll probably get fired. - from thier web site "recognizing that our people are our most valuable resource, we foster professional development and personal growth in a myriad of ways" - so many hard workers get let go and replaced by temps cost cutting. - some temps have been there over 3 years and never hired probably because it is cheaper. - they acquire all these small firms to say they provide the small company feel and exceptional customer service yet many of the clients and employees of the original companies have ended their relationship of about 20+ once under aecom management because quality of service fails. - good luck getting paid within contract terms. - Accounts Payable holds payments to make the end of the month cash reports look good. - Sub contractors be warned. - AECOM Technical Corporation(ACM) is publicly traded. They do not report AECOM Technical Services properly therefore financially they look great. - many lawsuits and legal action towards AECOM Technical Services but, you won’t see any of that information reported publicly as it wasn’t against AECOM Technical Corporation(ACM) - no room for growth unless you are a puppet for manegment to control. - be an open thinking and you'll go nowhere with this company. - engineers and project managers are now expected to also be accountants as they keep putting more responsibility on the PM’s to cut the overhead costs.

Pros

There are only a Handful of talented people and knowledgable people that I had the pleasure to work with

Cons

Toxic environment and leadership Old business mentality - implied expectation to work for free Sexual harassment - in 2015/16 the VP was fired for it; apparently he has been harrassing other women for years and HR kept it quiet until they could not keep it quiet anymore. NOT ok!
