      Pros

      Breadth of abilities allows AECOM to win impressive jobs. World-wide opportunities to work on various projects. Flexible work schedule (80 hours in 9 working days = every other Friday off!)

      Cons

      Great quarterly results didn't translate into decent raises. We heard every quarter from our CEO bragging about how great we're doing despite the poor economy but when raises came out we were told that because of the poor economy we were only getting a 2.5% raise. If you look at the Annual Report you'll see the CEO got a bonus that was 20% bigger than the year before...how come the difficult times didn't translate up to his level when it came to compensation? Lead by example...if you're holding us to small raises, don't take a bigger bonus!

      Buys out every engineering company....then lays off the employees

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Pay seems comparable to other engineering firms in region. Access to a lot of engineering software now with global integration of computer networks/licensing deals.

      Cons

      Extremely high turnover even in an awful economy, I decided to quit after about 1/3 of my office had been laid off and another sixth had quit to seek employment elsewhere within a two month period. Even though there was still high turnover before the recession. Layoffs seemed to occur at random times. Most employees felt paranoid they were next. Upper management feels very disconnected from employees and does not seem concerned about long-term growth or employee satisfaction. AECOM usually informs employees about acquisitions of engineering firms by email w/o solid explanation of how this benefits long-term growth. The company seems intent on buying out as many engineering firms to become larger than Jacobs. My particular office felt like "Office Space."

      Not as good as it could be

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      AECOM wins a lot of large oversea projects and there are many opportunities to re-locate and work on new projects.

      Cons

      The company treats its employees as if they are a dime a dozen. It feels as if the company is run by lawyers and accountants.
