Pros

Great co-workers. Excellent experience with significant responsibility early and often. Senior engineers have great experience and are more than willing to work with and mentor junior staff.

Cons

1. Acquisitive growth versus organic growth has caused AECOM a number of significant operational issues: The company has no clear and sensible business plan. 2. Too many inexperienced business development and marketing managers that have no clear business plan (see # 1 above) and do not understand business basics such as risk vs reward, important commercial contractual terms, and the need to identify valuable pursuits early. 3. Compensation: poor annual raises, bonuses, incentives, and benefits despite positive performance reviews.
