Pros

Great people to work with day to day Nice office space I have been impressed by PDD regional management Flexible schedules for some people (doesn't always work and depends on your supervisor and workload)

Cons

I think it really varies by office - my office is not very well-run and local management is not very good - I've heard better things about other offices Very low morale - economic times are tough, but employees need better incentive to do good work than just being "lucky to even have a job" Professional development opportunities exist, but they are very difficult for employees to access The opportunity to work with other offices Project management systems (APIC) and ISO are a nightmare for projects that don't have multi-million dollar contracts- cumbersome and take away from quality of work Top heavy organization structure Horrible workload management

Pros

I like my team and coworkers.

Cons

AECOM just pulled the heist of a lifetime. After a mass exodus last year, they offered good pay and amazing health benefits. Within a few weeks of being hired I was told my health benefits in 2024 would go up 800/month from 100/ month. Now I researched this company and was warmly brought it but now I know this is just a stepping point to a better opportunity with a company who has morals. I would avoid as they paint a good picture but at their core are just the stockholders way of growing wealth.

Don't Waste Your Time Here

Pros

Flexible Work Schedule is the ONLY Pro

Cons

Everything except Flexible Work Schedule. I spent a lifetime in engineering in the energy corridor in Houston, TX. AECOM is HANDS DOWN the worst engineering company I have ever been associated with. Very few employed here know what they are doing. There is NO help from supervisors. Many, especially in the 30-50 age range have a very polished delivery but have no clue how to get things done nor do they know the details of their own business; they are an empty suit. There are no procedures but they tell prospective clients we follow our procedures. IT support is a joke. The safety program is a joke. They spend too much effort and time on convincing employees it is a great place to work and attempting to be politically correct. If you are in your early – mid career go somewhere (anywhere) else. Don’t waste your time here, you may pick up bad habits.
