Pros

you sometime get the chance to work on some high profile projects

Cons

AECOM is without a doubt the worst company a graduate can be stuck in. Salary is a joke and training/ career progression are non existent. The salary review performed by an individual's line manager counts for nothing as senior management then change it to its liking in a way to never give any of the graduates a raise. This is also the case for employees at different levels of the company and since i have joined over half of my team has already left the company.. The only thing that the company is interested in is your utilization and not what you are actually doing. Graduates get 6 days of training in two years which means that you are expected to somehow learn everything on your own. The system in place to claim expenses back is ridiculous and built in a way to delay payment as much as possible so the company can hold on to your money while at the same time paying a ridiculous salary. I am also 100% sure that the company has paid someone to provide good reviews on glassdoor to make the company look better as the ratings jumped up while everyone i have spoken to has been increasingly frustrated with the company. Check any of the positive reviews and you can clearly see the small amount of detail in them and how similar they are

Pros

Variety of projects to work on Semi-flexible work time Some (although not easy to do) opportunities to work in other countries

Cons

Its not the same AECOM I joined, gone from a great place to one where you are just a number. Management is absent or uncaring so whether you are actually performing or not doesn’t really matter. No team work, everyone is just working for themselves. No pride in the work or making sure quality is produced as long as we issue something so we can bill a client its ok. High turn over of people

Pros

Large company that was once leading the field but has lost its way

Cons

It's quite shameful that leadership has recruited people to post positive CEO ratings to turn its negative glassdoor rating to a positive one
