Pros

Opportunities available for limited groups of people. Some engineers will get to work on very interesting projects, others will get stuck recycling the same task over and over. If you speak up and make your career your own you should be able to have at least a few interesting years before moving on.

Cons

Bottom line oriented. AECOM will say their staff is their most valuable asset but their actions are to engage in frequent layoffs, outsource work where feasible, and where not feasible drive to find a way to relocate the work to lower cost geographies. Many of their initiatives are created around finding ways to lower cost while being sold as a benefit to employees.

Pros

Decent company, good stock plan, good people who want to see you grow

Cons

Very remote management makes things hard, very little team work is locally siloed so its hard for managers to understand the boots on the ground view. Managers are great people but spread very thin, sometimes they accept work before having staff for it(classic consulting move)
