Pros
Excellent and friendly staff who all work extremely hard for this company. Have enjoyed all my years working for AECOM but mainly due to the people I have worked with. Please keep your good staff.
Cons
Noticed that part-time and staff with longish levels of service are the first to go when the company is in trouble and they need to "re-organise". Can be told in one week that they don't want a particular position to reduce their hours because of the workload and then in the next that position can be made redundant - not sure what kind of message that sends to employees. Low morale with staff not feeling their jobs are secure. AECOM is very US driven with processes and procedures being handed down to companies they buy out - not one shoe fits all yet that's how they run their projects. AECOM has lost clients due to their some of their procedures, and engineering staff are left to do all admin work when there are lots of capable admin staff who could help them immensely yet can't due to the fact engineers are the ones who have to do it.
