Some great people but the incentives (monetary and personnel development) are out of balance with the effort required. - Anonymous employee AECOM Employee Review

Pros

Reasonable work life balance, some degree of flexibility in start/end time. Diverse range of project types and size. Industry leading personnel.

Cons

- Matrix structure makes advancement within the company very difficult: too many hurdles to get over to gain authority to do small tasks. - Not enough trust put in employees that they are capable of doing the job - general trend appears to be not to promote from within. - very risk adverse.

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)
