Pros

Flexible working hours, if you do not care about your career and only want work life balance then AECOM might suit you. AECOM has an extremely strong PR team to write positive reviews and rating for them on glassdoor, otherwise AECOM will only able to get an average of 1.5 rating Some great co-worker to work with but mostly are junior grade......Since over 95% of senior grade / top management levels are "corrupted" by the "AECOM" culture and most great colleagues decided to leave once they are promoted. Eventually you will be promoted if you worked in AECOM for ages, as all the great people work with you left. Employee benefit is fair, dental also included Large projects Annual dinner feels like carnival, employees only care about the food quality and lucky draw They do tried their best to look like they are professional and ethical.

Cons

If you want to know what AECOM is like, you can just simply get the idea from all the positive reviews about AECOM on glassdoor -Information supporting is empty -All works are standardized, no innovation -Quality of work is poor AECOM does not care about quality but only quantity and that is the reason why most of the positive reviews about AECOM could not provide specific information about their job (All hail to the great PR team in AECOM) No commitment for any project at all!! Bosses never let you know when the deadline is, works and jobs are always last minute and at the end project delayed. Top management does not care about employees, everything is about the financial income and report to stakeholders. No career development, all they want you to do is work like a machine on same type of job. Noncompetitive salaries - Harsh salary for junior grade. Turnover really high. No over time pay. Bonus system is not available for junior grade. No human resource management in team. No collaboration between departments.

Pros

good projects that are interesting and looks good on CV, but they no longer have the staff that created all their good projects in the past.

Cons

it's all about the money, the accounts department is the worst…. office principles disregards employees.. Top management doesn't have a clue on how the actual work is done, and what the employees really need to do to have to get their work done. The boss is not even an engineer… it's not a design company.

Pros

Lots of departments with different professional opportunities.

Cons

Parts of the company can be very premative, full of politics/competition between the different departments since they were acquired from different parts of the world at different times, the engineering design firm doesn't even provide employee with engineering design standards, many standard company policies are non existence in this Fortune 500 firm, policy could be provided by the HR staff on piece meal, ad-hoc basis under no formal decision making process, if it does exist, some of the policies are there to take advantage of staff.
