Good benefits and great people

Pros

Coworkers - working alongside some of the best in the business around the world. Benefits - AECOM offers great benefits including insurance, educational reimbursement and online training. Exciting projects in all different fields.

Cons

Large public company that is controlled by the stock price. AECOM used to be several companies under one parent company. Now they are all one and global. Because of this, they are still suffering from growing pains. Retention of good people has been difficult. There have been some layoffs but the hardest part has been convincing the good people to stay.

Worse than I Imagined or Ever Expected

Pros

Large, world-class interesting projects. Not much else. I guess I have to keep typing to get my 20 words.

Cons

Low or no raises but CEO gets 20% per year. They run engineers ragged into the ground. Lays off staff when stock price falls and keeps remaining staff afraid for their jobs. Took a great mid-sized engineering company and ruined it. Took local IT and replaced it with a call center (same for HR). Agrees to impossible schedules then expects engineers to give up their personal lives to get the job done.

Pros

Some good people who were here before we got bought up. We don't have to vaccum or clean the toliets (yet)

Cons

Since being taken over by the global giant, EVERYTHING is more difficult. Opening a job, managing a job, getting approvals, hiring people, getting IT help (non-existent). The hypocrisy of upper management: the money spent on internal PR, (the latest being so called "Next Gen") and there is nothing for bonuses, when we are in the hottest economy in North America, and our competitors are getting well rewarded.
