Employees appreciate the friendly and supportive colleagues at AECOM, with many noting a strong sense of community across offices. Staff enjoy working on diverse and high-profile projects across various sectors, and value the modern office facilities in central locations with good amenities. The monthly drinks and social events help build team connections, and some employees benefit from flexible work arrangements and work-from-home options.
However, there are some potential challenges to consider. Management approaches can vary significantly between teams, with some employees noting that support and empathy levels differ. Workload can be demanding, with expectations to work beyond standard hours and occasional resource constraints. Some staff have found career progression challenging, and IT systems can be frustrating at times. Maintaining work-life balance may vary depending on the team, and as part of a large global organisation, decision-making processes can sometimes take longer.
