Pros

* Generally adequate pay. * Support for individual movement throughout other parts of the company

Cons

Our small division fell outside the AECOM norm (architectural, building, rail, engineering) milieu. Without marketing support we are withering on the vine and will eventually fall away. Direct management is strongly focused on monetary performance and not on engineering quality or adequacy. Silly cost reduction efforts such as the need to use a software work recording device before you make a 2 cent copy. Confusing QA (ISO 9000) implementation with conflicting or unintelligible forms. AECOM began life as a collection of Architect / Engineering companies. Even after years, this blend remains incomplete.
