Pros & Cons

  • The flexibility to work from home as I am completing a Masters so it is much easier to finish work and do uni from there rather than worry about commuting etc.
  • The culture across all teams is the best, AECOM hires GOOD people, not just technical people.
  • We get a wide range of projects so there is always something interesting to hear about and to participate in.
  • Great opportunities to network and meet the senior leaders within the company.
  • The flexibility with helping out in different teams during your graduate years helps you develop a variety of skills and explore which department might suit you best.
  • The pay is well below market rate.
  • Work alternates between being fast or slow, depending on projects won.
  • Lack of technical work initially, I have only just begun to be involved in technical work despite starting in early 2024.
  • The inconsistencies in the performance and rewards process.
  • There is a lot of pressure on billability, even when you cannot do much about it.
