AECOM reviews

The company talks a good game about company values and the importance of integrity, employees, clients, quality, etc. However, revenue and utilization are all that really matters. The company does not care about clients other than getting the bills paid as soon as possible. Employees are sucked dry when there is billable work, and then immediately fired and given 30 minutes to leave when the workload drops. It is unhealthy to watch as every other Friday 2 or 3 more people are suddenly let go. If you have any dignity and aren't physically starving stay away, AECOM is not worth it. I loved my job for over 20 years, then I watched as an organization that I loved was destroyed and people that I respected and cared for were discarded. I have a new position, and I love it. There is life after AECOM.

- 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.
