Pros

After you leave or get laid off from, AECOM, any job will feel like the best job in the world. You will have a new unbelievable outlook on how great life is not working for this company. Flexible schedule

Cons

No training, no mentoring, constant layoffs, employees are constantly in fear of losing jobs, bureaucracy ,incompetent clueless management, ISO quality certification process is a joke, saw so many garbage submittal's sent out with hardly any QC and poor coordination. If you are a woman or minority, then you will have a very hard time here, struggle, and eventually quit in frustration due to lack of equal treatment. In my office, I saw too often, bright young eager women or minority employees come to work here, and slowly had their hopes and dreams crushed. Faced with prejudice, subtle bias, lack of communication and support from superiors and coworkers, lack of recognition. It was a truly awful place from the first day to the last. If you are a white male and do the bare minimum, you will have more opportunities, be favored, supported, be treated much less harshly, not have to deal with bias and get promoted faster.

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)
