Pros

Working at a large corporation at the start of your career is a must in order to understand how things are done in the big world and AECOM is THE largest company in the engineering consulting industry. Great opportunities to work on huge projects (Riyadh Metro, HS2) or smaller ones for your local council.

Cons

-bureaucratic way of life, very risk averse company. -large staff pool means that individuals are not always recognised as they should be -slightly lower than average salaries (just slightly)

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)
