Pros

AECOM has decent compensation and benefits.

Cons

When AECOM acquired DMJM Harris, it totally changed what used to be a great place to work. AECOM is a soulless corporate giant with no respect for the people who support its engineers and executives. Their relentless layoffs of administrative assistants, receptionists and others whose work is direly needed is only going to force the engineers, architects and executives to waste more of their own time on administrative tasks at the expense of actual project work. AECOM is clueless when it comes to the lower downs. I would NOT recommend it to anyone looking for an employer who will respect them as a human being.

Pros

Decent company, good stock plan, good people who want to see you grow

Cons

Very remote management makes things hard, very little team work is locally siloed so its hard for managers to understand the boots on the ground view. Managers are great people but spread very thin, sometimes they accept work before having staff for it(classic consulting move)
