Pros

Good salary, 1 or 2 excellent leaders, interesting projects, talented coworkers. There are some good leaders at AECOM but not enough of them to create a positive effect on the culture.

Cons

Majority of leaders focused on bottomline only. Flexible work arrangements are actively discouraged by Senior leaders. Most engineering companies are moving past "if you are not here you are not working" models.

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)
