Pros

AECOM offers some good projects, and because of their global reach, there is opportunity for interesting foreign assignments. Compensation and benefits are competitive within the A&E industry.

Cons

AECOM is a disorganized mess due to unwieldy size and constant reorganization with its never-ending acquisition of other firms.... I myself came to AECOM via their acquisition of my former employer (when that happens, you can almost expect to be laid-off in the near future as AECOM brings in their own people and guts the smaller firm that was swallowed up by AECOM). Also, too many layers of management... as a section head in a Middle Eastern office, I spent nearly as much time filling out endless forms and other corporate paperwork as I did on the actual project work at hand, along with constant non-productive meddling by various (needless) layers of management. The worker bees being managed were often more competent professionally than their often politically-motivated managers.

Pros

There were really no Pros for this company that I can honestly attest.

Cons

The major Con for me was that employees in the Professional Band were treated like children. The Manager of the Department ran the office like an elementary school. We simply were not treated in a professional manner. Also, the company cared more about hiring friends and others "like them" than actually bringing in the best people for the job & company. In my experience, the employees were always paranoid and very unhappy.

Pros

The diversity of subsidieries were boiled down to transportation support services. I highly recommend that potential hires learn Bently microstation for long term employment.

Cons

As an employee of AECOM, I experienced the termoil of watching talented engineers leave while trying to build our client's confidence in the company's capability and compitance.
