Pros
Strong prospects and rapid rewards for any of the following: Pin-striped 'Yes men' Greedy fat cats Slippery, back-stabbing project managers Impressionable graduates with heads too large to fit through a standard doorway Meek (preferably invisible) engineers may be tolerated
Cons
Politics and presentation is name of the game - engineering features strongly only in the rhetoric. Glitzy office adds a kind of sickly gloss to the conniving whispers all around. The person sitting next to you could be escorted from the building at any moment, and with no explanation - if they haven't already. If you think you know how kiss A, think again, you've got some serious competition. Network - slurp. Network - slurp.. Network - slurp. 24/7. It takes a special kind of individual to be bothered with all that. But pass that test, and you'll be an AECOM lifer.
