Pros

Top company within the field, many diverse and large projects to work on, global opportunities within the company, coworkers are pretty friendly and relaxed, business casual environment.

Cons

AECOM is a company of acquisitions. Within the past 2.5 years that I've worked here, AECOM has acquired at least 8-10 smaller firms. This can have its pros and cons. The pro is it gives AECOM more opportunities to seek diverse projects. The con is you are adding more employees to the staff and thus possibly limiting growth opportunites for the current staff. Also staff must be at an associate level or higher before they can qualify for company bonuses. In order to become an associate you must work here for a minimum of 5 years before even being considered to become one.

Pros

Some of the employees try to do they jobs correctly and help others but they do not stay long. Some middle managers are also helpful but again they do not stay long. Most of the benefit are ok. Not too many things good to say about the company.

Cons

Work employees to long of hours. Made employee do thing that are not up to FAR or SOX. Turn over is way to high. No Communication in the company. Company goes through employees like water. Also company lost a lot of contracts in the past two years due to management...
