Vantaggi
This company is about its people... people who perform the services. The people and their expertise are amazing. That is the rank-in-file technicians, craft, and engineers, etc. Not the Upper Management.
Svantaggi
An extra layer of EVPs, VPs, and Presidents ("AECOM of the South") were brought on with $300K+ salaries and had zero idea about the house that Jim Barnhardt built. Chaos ensued and millions were spent with high dollar consultants defining "strategy" and building "marketing trees". Inevitably, long-standing employees who provide the necessary resources to win new contracts were laid off in 3 separate RIFS over six months span. Add to that a Cult-like organizational platform called The Collaborative Way (TCW) was implemented, costing millions, lining the pockets of its leader. (Seriously. Not making this up.) Marketing sends TCW company-wide videos mimicking what we all should have learned in preschool but nary a commercial contract has been won >$100 million. So much for that expensive Marketing/Proposal department. Sad ending as people expected so much more at launch.
