Pros

Big company with decent benefits, good place to start a career. Opportunity to travel and see the world but you must be flexible about where you go and when can come back! Some very talented staff.

Cons

Not an employee focused firm, it's all about utilization and bottom line profit. They have lost the mission. To say "Big Brother/Big Sister is watching" is an understatement, employees are cattle and management does cull the herd whenever they approach end of a quarter..... Morale, also known as esprit de corps, is an intangible term used to describe the capacity of people to maintain belief in an institution or a goal, or even in oneself and others - right now AECOM employees don't have much......

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)
