Review from Operations Dept

What's going wrong and how can it be improved?

Put quality and employees ahead of the numbers. Take care of the people and they will get the numbers

AECOM sometimes is too large to provide the expected services to its clients

Management needs to change, engineers need to run the business not accountants or lawyers

Too burocatic and no innovation

The company is a complete disaster. Management doesn't have a clue whats happening or how to run a business. They don’t care about their employees. Turn over is the highest

The sr. Executive team needs to be replaced with competent leaders. The company is currently run by bean counters that don’t have a clue about how to motivate and sustain a happy and produc

Review from Operations Dept

Everyone hates each other and no one respects anyone

Review from Marketing Dept

Hiring managers only hire their alumni and friends. These people can't win jobs for the company.

Review from Engineering Dept

Review from Operations Dept

Address the concerned that myself and my colleagues have raised in the previous boxes time and time again.

Review from Engineering Dept

Work requires a high school level of knowledge and has no actual responsibility. Having more meaningful work that promotes personal development and has a direct impact on the success of the organization and our clients, and increased responsibility would improve the work experience considerably.

Review from Engineering Dept

The company does not have a unified ethos for employees to grasp on to. It is all about profit and shareholder satisfaction while doing work that is meant to help the greater good.

Review from Engineering Dept

NO ONE IS CROSS TRAINED. OFTEN THERE IS ONLY ONE PERSON WHO KNOWS THE JOB. IF THAT PERSON GOES ON VACATION IT JUST MEANS THERE WILL BE MORE WORK UPON RETURN

Review from Operations Dept

Mediocre pay, low PTO, ridiculous 401K match rules - match only given at end of year and that if you leave mid year you lose your match. Too many hoops to jump through for health care. Required to eat time often on projects or conferences/ training so staff don't feel valued.

Review from Engineering Dept

Too much focus on short term goals

Review from Engineering Dept

Treat employees like assets not numbers

Review from IT Dept

Work environment is not great and management seems concerned only about profit.

Review from Engineering Dept

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.
