* Very poor management, junior mentoring and general business direction
* No culture - go to work, sit on your computer or in a meeting room for 8 hours, eat lunch at your desk, go home
* Not great offices - like working in a large factory floor so very noisy and impersonal
* Dismal pipeline of work for a large company - poor bidding and networking at management level
* Next to no benefits - standard 1-2% pay increase per year but bonuses and pay rises happen very rarely. AECOM benefits system is very gimmicky and a standard enterprise rewards system used by big companies - eg. get 2% off groceries at Tesco or save 2% at Costa.
* Next to no spending on innovation, office enhancements or employee satisfaction.
* Very poor project management systems which take about 5-8 people to approve a project to go-ahead (even for a project as small as £1000).
* Poor pay - below to average for the industry.
* Large pay gap between junior/mid-level staff and managers. The junior/mid-level staff usually do most of the work.
* Very poor office manager - rarely hear from them
* High turnover of staff - you can understand why.
