Pros
Engineers are directly dumped into projects and onsite activities. Learning things the hard way is good experience
Cons
The AECOM office in New Orleans was a part of URS corp. which was bought by AECOM. This office is hopeless with Pathetic department management. The manager used to harass and demand respect. His stupidity costed a lot of jobs in the company but he still survives there. No place for internationals, a colleague of mine was super ill treated and intentionally harassed and the management made sure he was laid off and he had to move back to his country. No team work, all employees are scared and only survivors are people who lick the managers arm pit. The manager openly says that he will only keep people who he likes. Hard work has no value. A few technically incompetent, insecure people in management positions running the floor. No respect for people and their work. Almost no growth unless u kiss the bosses armpit. The worst place I have worked and anyone could work. Think twice before working here.
