Pros

Might look ok on your CV when you eventually leave Aecom is 10/10 at making people feel awful. If you love feeling low, demoralized and on the verge of a breakdown, then aecom is for you! There is an unlimited number of staff who can slap you down. This feature oc aecom is unrivaled - just too good. Aecom is terrific at promoting incompetent people and ignoring gaping serious behavioural issues. If you're a psychopath and want to treat people however YOU want (swearing, yelling, intimidation and more!), definitely apply here. You will fit in so well! You may face competition from the other bullies though so heed that warning because you won't get to be the sole bully (sad face). Otherwise it's free reign - go crazy - you won't get disciplined EVER! Aecom is THE BEST at pretending systemic issues don't exist. Ive never seen such great actors + actresses in management before. Where have they been trained and why aren't they on Home and Away? Their talents are being wasted (sad face). Their acting ability would be ahh-mazing on tv, movies or better yet, the theatre!

Cons

Terrible oppressive environment and culture Weak management that can't be trusted Useless incompetent HR Disregard for a safe work environment Ridiculous expectations Finger pointing and blame Losing your sanity

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)
