As long as you are billable, agree with the propaganda and act like you don't notice what is actually going on you're ok - Senior Engineer AECOM Employee Review

Pros

Very good projects, talented professionals, large footprint on a massive scale. Strong teams of multi disciplined technical leaders, matched with excellent project and program managers.

Cons

The executive leadership is only interested in share holder value. While there is a ton of communication and social chatter, it is generally contrived and disingenuous. If you are not billable for every hour you are at risk of losing your job. There is little to no vision or strategy, except if you are an accountant and then you can run the C Suite - anyone that can actually run the business need not apply. Investments are never made in operations, but rather is directed toward useless corporate initiatives that yield little to nothing of value.

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)
