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

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)
