Sacramento - Terrible

Pros

Opportunities to work on types and sizes of projects few other firms can provide - these look great on resumes. A fantastic place to work if you live for your career and nothing else.

Cons

I can't speak as to the situation at other AECOM offices but the cons at Sacramento are too many to list. Worked there when it was still EDAW which was a company we were all very proud of. AECOM, in its infinite wisdom fixed what wasn't broken and the office rapidly became a revolving door of highly qualified people seeing the trend and getting out or being shown the door for not being "team players". Issues have only been compounded by current management if it can even be referred to as such. Advice to prospective employees - look elsewhere. You can't possibly be this desperate.

Great people that were acquired from URS

Company is a clusterduck! If you can work in a straight jacket you'll appreciate having hands tied behind back

Pros

It's a job with a paycheck. Benefits are comparable with similar companies.

Cons

Management does not care about employees. Whether you are a seasoned professional with an advanced degree or fresh off the street with a couple of certifications you are just a warm body keeping a seat filled. Salaries are below averages, raises are minimal, advancement is almost nonexistent. There are a few good middle managers here and there, but overall you are treated like cattle.
