Pros

Flexibility, people in technical roles, interesting work

Cons

I'm a legacy URS employee and AECOM bought us last year. Didn't think things could get worse than what it was at URS! Boy I was wrong!! It's so bloated, inefficient, you're not recognized as a person (just a number), too many policies, trainings, outdated/inefficient systems, required trainings are a waste of time - no practical guidance. Everyone in my office that worked for URS is very very unhappy with AECOM. Big thanks to our former CEO that got is in a position to be acquired and cut and run with his millions!!

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)
