Vantaggi
Pay seems comparable to other engineering firms in region. Access to a lot of engineering software now with global integration of computer networks/licensing deals.
Svantaggi
Extremely high turnover even in an awful economy, I decided to quit after about 1/3 of my office had been laid off and another sixth had quit to seek employment elsewhere within a two month period. Even though there was still high turnover before the recession. Layoffs seemed to occur at random times. Most employees felt paranoid they were next. Upper management feels very disconnected from employees and does not seem concerned about long-term growth or employee satisfaction. AECOM usually informs employees about acquisitions of engineering firms by email w/o solid explanation of how this benefits long-term growth. The company seems intent on buying out as many engineering firms to become larger than Jacobs. My particular office felt like "Office Space."
