Pros

when i first joined we were separated in 4-5 offices but we moved into one great location where the coffee is great. the junior staff are friendly and enthusiastic

Cons

the senior management reward each other with large epic bonuses and raises while team leaders are informed that there are no funds set aside for rewarding their team because the business is not meeting plan. most of the better staff rapidly become frustrated with the lack of opportunities and recognition and move onto another company.

Pros

great memories of principals who fought to make the Sacramento office a great place to work.

Cons

It's now owned by AECOM and the staff that actually does the work are way over worked, under compensated, and under appreciated.

Pros

the only reason one would work at Aecom is because of acquisition of another company. Often you can find good and competent people working there. In the initial months of the merger one can also feel like about working in a 50,000+ employees company...

Cons

At least for architecture, there is no interest at all in developing the business line. All the senior management are under qualified individuals with degrees in horticulture(that is the head of pdd the UAE) and no architectural training at all. There is no recognition of good employee, and you can only advance if you kiss up to management, or if you are under qualified. If you are an Architect that cares about the profession or design STAY AWAY from AECOM... In my 20+ years of professional career AECOM has been the worst company I ever worked for.Consider cleaning toilets before thinking about working at AECOM
