Pros

I've been trying and trying and trying, but I cannot come up with anything good to say about this company. I worked at URS for 15 years and one month before we were acquired by AECOM. It then took nine months for the Grim Reaper to find me.

Cons

This is a company that does not value its employees. When AECOM acquired URS in Jan 2015, there were ~100,000 employees. Now my former colleagues tell me they're down to ~85,000. Employee morale is in the toilet as everyone wonders if they're next. Salaries are low. Benefits aren't. There is constant reorganization; one AECOM old-timer told me he'd been through 26 reorganizations in 22 years.

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)
