Business outlook
Pros
Good health benefits, nice office, good co-workers at the lower levels; some interesting project opportunities
Cons
Where to start? Pay is below market; project managers are abused and laden with ridiculous amounts of responsibility and accounting tasks; management is top-heavy and out of touch with those actually doing the work; bloated fees make it difficult to compete for work without ripping off clients; the focus is on making money, not doing good work; the atmosphere is that the ax is always over your head, you just don't know when it's going to drop. Just an awful place. Leaving AECOM was one of the best feelings of my life.
