Pros

Good people with a variety of skill sets. Diverse projects. I can't think of anything else good to say about this company

Cons

Complete chaos and sketchy management. People are just a number and when numbers are down good people get cut but Mike Burke still makes his $18M. People are so scared to get fired that they hoard work. Systems continually change and training of these systems are expected to be on your own time. Most people are required to be 95% billable and management is trying to increase this! When AECOM realized Glassdoor ratings were so low they added a link to the employee survey only if during the internal survey an employee gave a good review.
