Pros

the only reason one would work at Aecom is because of acquisition of another company. Often you can find good and competent people working there. In the initial months of the merger one can also feel like about working in a 50,000+ employees company...

Cons

At least for architecture, there is no interest at all in developing the business line. All the senior management are under qualified individuals with degrees in horticulture(that is the head of pdd the UAE) and no architectural training at all. There is no recognition of good employee, and you can only advance if you kiss up to management, or if you are under qualified. If you are an Architect that cares about the profession or design STAY AWAY from AECOM... In my 20+ years of professional career AECOM has been the worst company I ever worked for.Consider cleaning toilets before thinking about working at AECOM

Pros

There are opportunities to work on very large, cool projects. The sector sales forces are organized and very capable. There is a lot of opportunity to network if you have the desire to do so.

Cons

Expect to be treated like a mushroom. Operational management has not apparently read aobut the culture of ethics, client satisfaction, or employee development promoted on the web site. A very hypocritical company. It aboput utilization to the point of being anal and sacrificing growth.
