AECOM Design Department Employee Reviews
Briefly describe your overall experience at your company
What do you like best about the leadership team?
They may not always succeed, but they don't just talk the talk, they actually do work toward achieving goals and high standards in sustainability and innovation, and are improving more and more in their work on diversity and inclusion.
Review from Design Dept
Open to new ideas and forward thinking, innovative.
Review from Design Dept
Engagement with all tiers of staff, if staff wants to be engaged
Review from Design Dept
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Lead. No direction, no communication.
Review from Design Dept
The leadership team needs to reach out to lower level managers and find out what is actually happening in regional offices. There is a huge lack of communication between management and the people who do the majority of the deliverable work.
Review from Design Dept
What is the best part about your compensation package?
Vacation and flexible work hours.
Review from Design Dept
Salary. Certainly top end of the market. But no career progression.
Review from Design Dept
Paid time off and fair salary.
Review from Design Dept
It’s better than fair compared to other companies
Review from Design Dept
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Management makes no effort to reach out to team members and ensure they are feeling fulfilled with their job. A better benefits package or additional PTO would help make up for the low (for the industry) salary.
Review from Design Dept
What are some of the best things about your team?
All-round impressive technical and management capabilities with top experts in just about any topic in engineering, planning, design, environment, water, power, etc...
Review from Design Dept
Client focus. Strive to achieve client objectives
Review from Design Dept
They always meet our deadlines. Dedicated and great chemistry.
Review from Design Dept
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
In my particular office, there is a huge cultural divide. A good majority of the office is very cliquey and seems to exclude those who are not of their same background. This makes it difficult to work on projects as one unified team. I think this is something that team managers have to address.
Review from Design Dept
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
People are supportive and always willing to help out.
Review from Design Dept
The people. Notwithstanding poor the poor leadership.
Review from Design Dept
Culture of quality and professionalism and the office environment is open and collaborative.
Review from Design Dept
I think over the past few months, my team manager has realized the divide in the office and has had informal weekly team get togethers (with snacks) to try and get people to be friendly with people they may not be working on a project with.
Review from Design Dept
Diverse with a corporate twist

What makes you most happy at work?
The diversity of projects I get to work on.
Review from Design Dept
Leading my group and making a difference.
Review from Design Dept
Type of work we do and pursue
Review from Design Dept
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
The offices that are going after work and winning contracts are not rewarded with actually being able to work on the projects. Instead, once a contract is won, it is being sent to an office that "specializes" in that industry. It is frustrating to get excited about a project and see it go elsewhere.
