Read the core values, and picture the exact opposite. - GIS Analyst AECOM Employee Review

Pros

Having a job is better than no job at all. A good place for young engineers to learn about the business, and move on to more progressive smaller firms for a real career. Really good core values – but only on paper. The company is anything but agile, prioritizes not the client but bottom line profit, valuing not the employee but the value they can squeeze out. The firm seems to be run by few too many “corporate cardinals” awfully concerned with saving a dollar off admin assistants and lavishly overplayed top executives.

Cons

All the emphasis on immediate revenue, no long term vision. Lost some of the brightest professionals in the industry. Procrastination should be AECOM’s alias.

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)
