Pros

I got hired as a full-Time employee, but then they put me on "standby" mode twice in 8 months. I supposed to start in July but they postponed it to September. And now, They are putting me for "standby" again after 6 months of hiring. They told me "no project for you at this time". This is a ridiculously unstable job. I highly recommend people try to avoid this company.

Cons

I can't think of any. Maybe just the flexible working hours? Most of people inside are very nice. Working environment is relatively good.

Less than good employer

Pros

Not sure, very large company at about 100K employees worldwide, too large to ever fail perhaps.

Cons

They bought my previous employer then things spiraled down. Extremely impersonal, will let people go very easily, they favor the open office concept and are moving in that direction, great for socializing but hard to concentrate in. Always uneasy about staying employed since we merged with them.

Very P/L driven and future looking "stormy"

Pros

You name it AECOM does it, and all over the globe. Diverse people, diverse project and opportunities IF you can get them on your own.

Cons

Constant re-organization, new tools, and new system. Mediocre to below industry standard benefits and salary increases. With high P/L goals that are not realistic, will not invigorate your life blood - which is your people to achieve goals. Motivate by opportunities and appreciation - not fancy videos, and 'coin' rewards. Ultimate reward is the respect of your colleagues/clients and their appreciation. The simple things. URS folks have had new tools, new systems thrown at them, and then more new tools once they are finally getting the hang of things. Us AECOM folks are overwhelmed as well. Most people are good to work with it but as usual there are folks who only look out for themselves. Weed selfish/self serving people out, as good people build teams, good teams build growth, and growth fosters more opportunities.
