AECOM International Development -- Sexist, racist, unethical

Anonymous employee
Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Extremely competitive salaries. Some flexibility (telework, etc.), depending on manager.

Cons

Leadership--seven VPs, all men, all but one white--consistently perpetuate a sexist, racist, ageist culture. In contrast, the majority of the staff (non-VP level) are well-educated, hard-working young and mid-career females whose voices are repeatedly either ignored (including when it comes to sexual harassment, racial discrimination, etc. to the point that some staff are afraid to come to the office) or stolen (e.g., having ideas misrepresented by colleagues as their own). Policies in place for ethics are totally disregarded from the leadership team demonstrating the level/lack of respect for the staff and fomenting / normalizing unethical behaviors of other staff. Zero business strategy--poor performance on a number of projects, inability to win bids (including follow-ons). Benefits (paid time off, health, etc.) are bare minimum.

Too Many Changes - Too Corporate

Pros

The salary is good. They are almost anywhere you care to live.

Cons

Company is too big. Leadership cares more about profits than the employees. They keep cutting benefits and increasing the cost of health insurance. They are required to fit employee evaluations to a "bell curve."

The only way to get ahead is to quit

Pros

There is free snacks in the kitchen. Flexible work hours.

Cons

It is impossible to get a decent pay raise or promotion. I was told by many "senior" level people that if I want to get more money, then I should leave the company. That is a horrible way to treat staff. We've had over 16 people quit for the past 2 months because senior level people would rather let them go than promote within.
