Pros
Met some good people and clients. That was all. Am relieved that I no longer work there and feel sorry for anyone at URS right now.
Cons
Run by a bunch of talentless halfwits obsessed with billability. That is the only measure of worth at this sweatshop. If it gets below the ludicrous target then make sure you have no personal stuff on your desk and be prepared to be laid off and escorted out the door at any time. Impossible to get promoted unless you are within a certain clique. Here is an example of how someone gets to be a manager within AECOM: A person continually plagiarised the work of fellow team members who had many more years of experience and infinitely more knowledge than his own for reports and conference papers. He then pranced around and pretended that he had the same expertise based on his ability to cut and paste and was promoted to Associate Director and then Team Leader. The two people who were ripped off stayed at Principal level, soon left and took their true expertise and clients with them. Meanwhile, their work is still being regurgitated in AECOM reports and specifications years later because the remaining people have nothing original to contribute and lack technical skills. There has been significant brain drain at AECOM because of they way management abuses good people, fails to recognise and reward talent and instead puts dishonest losers in "leadership" positions. It's only going to get worse.
