Pros

It's BIG. Really BIG. It makes itself A LOT of money. The win A LOT of work. They BUY A LOT of other companies.

Cons

Start off working for another firm that got bought by AECOM. AECOM whittle away our office. most of the very good people left and we were stuck with the mediocre to bad employees with mostly bad attitudes. The few good one that were left got "quit" if they cause any trouble. I agree with most of the BAD reviews on here. They tell the truth. You are a number to these people. If you don't rock the boat and sit at your desk and do little to nothing for a 8 hour day then you are JUST what AECOM is looking for to add bodies to the pile of proposals and projects that make their numbers look good. One day it will all crash down on them and I will applaud.

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)
