Pros

The company has good benefits, training and proceedures

Cons

The culture is not centered around the employees need, it is based around earnings. People are hired and let go, with little consideration given to years of service or success at a position. If there is money to be made off hiring they hire, if the business is slow, the reduce staff.

Pros

They work on some great projects

Cons

AECOM is about AECOM making money, they don't care who is in and who is out. They haven't yet got the link between if you look after your employees, they will look after the business. They do an employee survey every year. And every year they tell us all the good stuff, they don't bother with the negatives. I'm sure most people are looking for a new job.

Love my job...that's about it

Pros

Working for URS Corp (now part of AECOM) has given me the opportunity to do what I love.

Cons

I have been here for three years - my manager doesn't know my job or even where my office is located. I have literally received one performance evaluation, and had to request a face to face after the project manager had already marked my profile as complete (which calls ethics into question...). I am expected to jump at the first request, but cannot get my employee profile updated with a degree that I have had for three years, or certifications that I have completed in the last two. There is no communication unless there is a problem, and they don't care what the employee is dealing with. It is a terrible experience and honestly if I didn't absolutely love my job, I would tell them that and leave. N.B. - I have read a lot of reviews about AECOM itself - but I think that my particular experience is not the overall company, but the people at my specific location. Either way, it now carries the AECOM name and logo and the poor management of this location makes the whole company look bad.
