Upper management needs to see what middle management is doing. - Anonymous employee AECOM Employee Review

Company has been transitioning from 5 different companies to one unify one. During this transition upper management has forgotten to look into what middle management is doing and therefore a bunch of inexperience people has made it into the middle management. People with not people skills or management skills. People that think that the old good boy network is going to take care of them. In reality that is cancer that eats the company from within and limits the abilities of the people that are up and coming. My current office does not have a great local presence because of this people. They are wanted by the local community so therefore we do not get work from our local DOT, City or Counties. We depend on other offices to have work. Inexperience project managers, department managers and office managers do not know how to manage projects and do not share information. Out 5 projects in my department 3 are out of budget. Project managers do not follow ethics when it come to the time charges and scope creeping. Department managers are too young to determine what needs to be done and who needs to work on what. Our office manager just got promoted from department manager but he is incapable of bringing work to the office because he is not liked by the clients because he is too young and does not represent our company well.
