Pros

Broad network to lean on for resources, internal opportunities, etc. Wide range of types of work that you can get involved in.

Cons

It's tough to feel like you matter in a nearly 100K person company. After AECOM acquired URS, tension in the office was very high (and remains so) as new management eliminated legacy URS positions that were duplicative of legacy AECOM positions. On top of a lot of folks being fired, many left for other opportunities. The word "billability" is used so much that if you fall below 100% billable, you start to sweat.

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)
