      Pros

      AECOM is a large, stable company. The employees are great, for the most part. The work is interesting and it's in a fun location.

      Cons

      AECOM is too large. Decisions seem to come from HQ in LA. Middle management is moved around so often it's hard to remember who your boss is. We were routinely told to lie on our time cards at one point. I don't see room for advancement. Some departments don't even have CADD standards anymore. There are 3 companies under one roof for at least 2 years now and there doesn't seem to be a plan of total integration yet.

      Pros

      It used to be a good company when it was Maunsell and there are some good people. Most of the good ones have left.

      Cons

      A multitude of flaws. It's bizarro world at AECOM. Bad people with personality disorders are promoted to group leader roles and inflict their insanity on everyone they can. Their mission is to make your life as chaotic and stressful as possible. They expect you to be as manic and frantic as themsleves, work unpaid overtime (including weekends), take your laptop home every night, respond to phone calls and emails in your own personal time and accuse you of not being a team player if you don't. The "grande fromages" take credit for your work to promote themselves. Layoffs can occur at any time for unsuspecting employees, thereby creating a culture of insecurity. The biggest problem at this prison is that they hired heaps of people of few years ago as part of their world domination plan but can't find enough work and then they turn around and blame the employees for having low billability. i can't see any positive future for this company, especially with a downturn in engineering in Australia, and expect many more layoffs. Beware, and if you're thinking of giving up your job to come to Australia then don't. Read the reviews on Glassdoor.

      Pros

      Some nice people and interesting projects from when the other companies existed.

      Cons

      - Heavily bureaucratic - Glass Ceiling - Cost cutting at every corner so you have to do everything - Perpetual state of emergency on projects since they only get the clients that no one wants - 100 billibility mandate is meant to keep you in your place. - Global company operated as a local one. People and office consistently bicker and fight. No cohesion whatsoever. DO NOT THINK THAT YOU WILL HAVE GLOBAL OPPORTUNITIES. ITS A COMPLETE LIE.
