Management

Project Manager (Former Employee) - Sydney Central Business District NSW - 3 June 2019

Strong growth in recent years appears to have stretched the quality of management. I was disheartened by the dated culture; racism, sexism and Islamophobia was present after hours. Market rate payments.

Pros

Market rate pay

Not a very ethical company

Technical Librarian (Australia) (Former Employee) - Australia - 22 August 2017

Company changed the benefits package without informing any of the American employees. Upper management very poor. AECOM treats the employee as a liability and not as an asset.

Interesting type of work

Project Engineer (Former Employee) - Brisbane QLD - 29 March 2017

employment with AECOM

Senior Technical Officer (Current Employee) - Brisbane QLD - 17 January 2017

it has been a pleasure working with AECOM and can see why they are such a big ompany with an impressive history that continues to grow. the work has been new and exciting and i love getting to learn a new discipline with civil and infrustructure. road and rail seems to be the big industry right now and AECOM are thriving with projects. only thing that hasnt been so good is the lack of commitment from them to submit me for a longer term contract, instead opting for month extensions at a time, slightly frustrating but cant complain being kept employed here.

Great Projects and technical Knowledge

Structural Engineer (Current Employee) - Sydney NSW - 18 October 2016

My time in AECOM has been a great experience, particularly working within internal multi-discipline teams. I have been working with Sydney's top architects and clients giving me the right skills to forward my career. My typical day starts with chatting with the team about social aspects of our personal lives and then preparing for the day. We always encourage each other to leave the office for lunch and get some fresh air. From a project view, we work on a range of team sizes depending on the project demand. In all cases, I have learnt both technical and soft skills from my colleges and clients. There if definitely a great sense of mentorship. I most enjoy solving some of the more complex engineering problems and knowing my technical managers are in full support of my ideas and guide me accordingly.

Pros

Social activities, strong technical leadership

Cons

Internal procedures sometimes slow project delivery down which is frustrating

Awful Environment

Manager (Former Employee) - Melbourne VIC - 22 August 2016

Backstabbing, Political, managers screw you over wherever they can, limit your career advancement. As a result this culture cascades down all the way and everyone is just at each other. There is limited team environment. Some people are lovely but you can only survive if you are a narcissist, good at playing political games, come from an anglo saxon privileged private school background - that is the only way you can be in the "in crowd". Sad that this is the case as they have some great iconic projects. I have also worked alongside AECOM where I was the Client and very similar "arrogant" attitude. The only plus sign of working there is the benefits and having the name on your CV.
