      Pros

      Working at AECOM gives me a chance for a better future just like the many countries we work with worldwide. The jobs we do aren't easy or someone else would be doing them. Our people are super talented, extremely committed and have their heart in everything they do, they are goal oriented, success isn't an option.

      Cons

      Large company with acquisitions to make the company even better has to come with some growing pains, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Everything I see the company doing is to the betterment all of us and the company/clients we work with around the world. Trying to teach us old dogs new tricks!

      Pros

      Opportunities abound at AECOM, for those willing to assert themselves and stand out among the now 100,000 employees. This company has the depth and breadth to win and succeed with managing major marquis projects across the globe. Internal communications and networking tools keep employees connected with each other and our leadership teams. Leadership takes stake in the engagement and satisfaction of their employees, and are currently working diligently to address "improvement opportunities" identified in the 2015 Employee Survey, which received excellent participation.

      Cons

      It's been almost a year since the announcement of the URS acquisition, and as a legacy employee of a 2011 URS acquisition, I think the transition has gone comparatively well, considering the magnitude. That said, it's a tough time for management now, and stress on middle-managers to maintain project efficiency during an administratively burdensome period is high. It's a bottom-line world, but I think we can strike a better balance with Work/Life as well as employee compensation. Hoping we'll all be better for it once the growing pains run their course.

      Lost Culture, not so good now

      Pros

      AECOM is largest engineering design firm in the world. With that title comes opportunities to work on projects that smaller firms cant touch. Benefits are OK but would expect better for company of this size. Talented people remain in some offices but many have left or been laid off.

      Cons

      A revolving door of senior managers and other leaders in the company. No long term vision, business decisions are based on making next quarter numbers because public traded. The company makes rash misguided decisions regarding staff layoffs just to meet numbers to please investors. When you throw 30 company cultures into a cage what you get is AECOM chaos. Integration of legacy companies has not gone smoothly there is still internal backstabbing, no collaboration and mistrust between managers and staff of legacy companies.
