AECOM System Engineer reviews

Decent benefits and salary. PTO requests are always approved

I worked across two different roles during my time with the company (almost 2 years total). This review is primarily of the company and work environment. Work Environment: - Large company with wide variety of disciplines offers the potential to learn breadth - Access to engineering tools and subject matter experts Compensation: - Consulting typically has high starting salary - Bonuses offered for achieving professional certifications - Back Pay given when leaving for personal time off not taken - Occasional opportunities to earn overtime (straight time, not 1.5x or 2x pay) Career Growth: - In depth learning website (particularly in finance and project management principles) - Subsidized access to various professional organizations General Notes: I was given very little work, despite having set up meetings with various members of mid-level leadership to gain work. After about 6 months I was placed in the subway on night shift performing inspections. This was meant to be temporary (although not related to my role) and ended up in being over a year - ending because of health problems due to the environment. When brought back on to day work, lack of work persisted. I was able to work on a separate team part time which helped provide more workload. Work experience will greatly depend on your team and its leadership. I wasted two years of my life (no significant skill or knowledge growth).
