Great working environment

Administration Officer / Reception (Former Employee) - Adelaide SA - 29 May 2016

The reason I stayed at this organisation (as URS) was because they looked after you so much. Everyone was so friendly and it was a great place to work most days. Great managers and supporting HR.

Pros

Supportive and safe working environment

Cons

At times some people could take advantage of the supportive managers which can be frustrating

Great place to work in Brisbane branch

Chief Field Engineer (Former Employee) - Brisbane or on site world wide - 6 March 2016

Progressive company, with a variety of mining & infrastructure jobs for both experienced and graduate engineers. Site work gives you practical experience in mine development projects. My most challenging project was in Botswana, Africa. Auditing progress with a copper mine processing plant. Elephants had destroyed the fencing around a well site, about six wells provided processing water for the mine process plant. 18 hrs flying in and out via Joh/burg. Downside unable to safari in the Okovanga delta. Management gave me an opportunity not always available. Thanks AECOM.

Pros

Free fruit most days, great coffee machine area.

Cons

None

good potential

Senior Marketing Advisor/ Marketing Advisor (Former Employee) - Perth, WA - 11 January 2016

when the economy is doing well this is a great company to work for but as soon as the economy turned, the company forgot its in the business of selling people. They forgot their #1 asset is their employees. VERY bureaucratic, slow to get anything approved. very risk adverse to the point where it affects working with clients.

Pros

potential to work on amazing projects

Cons

job security, inconsistent messages from management

busy but productive workplace

Snr Administration Officer / Project Administrator (Former Employee) - Mackay, QLD - 9 February 2015

every day was always busy at AECOM, which I like. I prefer to be very busy and I function with more efficiency when busy. Things learned would be time management and improved organisation. AECOM have supportive management and there is a healthy culture alive in the office, hence there is a friendly atmosphere of team workmanship amongst the co-workers. the job was busy and demanding , but I would not say that there was anything difficult about the job I had, I loved it. the most enjoyable was probably the fact that there was great team work and a friendly atmosphere in which to work, it certainly made life easier when the job got demanding.

Pros

AECOM offered great employee benefits

Cons

nil
