Pros

Competitors are hiring for the same position.

Cons

I could go on and on, but basically the worst thing about aecom is that we really work for accountants. Accountants are allowed to call your clients directly to demand payment. As a project manager, I've had this happen several times and it's very embarrassing. Next is the fact that you are less than a number. aecom will treat you like cattle in a pen, because that's what you are to them. New offices will not have walls higher than your hip. As an engineer/PM I need to be able to think, and instead Mike Burke thinks I need to hear someone 50 yards away burp. Way to go Mikey, I know you can't hear this from your private jet.

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)
