AECOM reviews

Large company = you are simply employee #xxxxxxx out of ~45,000 worldwide Unusual combination of messages from C-level execs (one day we're doing GREAT, then 45 minutes later, they announce layoffs) Incredibly rapid non-organic expansion from mergers, typically a few companies every quarter. Upper management seems very disconnected from "normal" employees. (I've been here for ~ 1 year, I've met my direct boss once, and never met anyone above him in my Business Line).

The promotion process is ambiguous Atmosphere of "get it done" instead of "get it done well" Claim that work/life balance is important, but that is only lip service No direction from senior management, everything is "the project manager's responsibility" I have a team leader, program director, principal, co-director, coordinator, etc. all directly overseeing my work. All of these people have specific tasks that they oversee but none of these supervisors are really able to help me advance...that is "out of their hands" Former Op-Cos are experiencing severe problems trying to work as "One AECOM" Some offices are able to just drop projects and pass them off to other offices that used to be clients, but are now part of one company It feels that people are just waiting for the economy to get better so they can leave for better opportunities There is always a new form to be filled out, with no direction as to what it is or what it's for. Some offices are able to just drop projects and pass them off to other offices that used to be clients, but are now part of one company
