Worst Company Ever
Aircraft Electrician Tech II (Current Employee), Middle east – December 6, 2012
I am/was a over seas contractor for AECOM and everything started off just fine. After i signed my contract and actually landed in the middle east thats when everything in the contract became invalid. The broke contract in many ways and because the didn't interview most people before they hired them they started to fire a ton of people who were and weren't – more... qualified for the jobs they had. It was just a mess not to mention working 16+ hours a day but only being able to log 12hrs. Never again! – less

Very Satisfying Job
Transportation Supervisor (Current Employee), Fort Bliss, TX – December 5, 2012
Pros: serving the military, achievements awards
Cons: medical benefits are non-negotiable, whether needed or not, they are mandatory
Working with Military and Civilian customers on a daily basis. Day to day activitites differ. I have wonderful professional employees that strive to achieve customer gratification. Relationships between the contractor and the Transportation Service Providers is very satisfying and enables to ability to complete the missions.

Working 2 weeks with only a half day off.
Movement Control Coordinator (Current Employee), Kandahar, Afghansistan – December 2, 2012
Great pay but management is almost non existant in my section. 12 hour day with 2 breaks and 1 hour lunch. Free Defac food. Free housing. Hard to spend much money in Afghanistan so you will save plenty.

Great Company
GIS Analyst Team Lead/Project Manager (Former Employee), South Carolina – November 30, 2012
Pros: people, benifits
Cons: business units tended not to work together too well at times
I enjoyed my time at AECOM and wished I never left, but due to lack of work, I was worried that I would be downsized. Turned out I left too soon and would love to go back.

terrible workplace, controlled chaos, inexperience, horible mangment
CH-47 A&P mechanic experienced (Current Employee), Afghanistan – November 28, 2012
Pros: nothing at all
Cons: everything
First of all if you think that you are going to make salary....you’re not. If you think that you family will get taken care of if you are struck by a mortar and die (which can happen in the war zone of Afghanistan) your wrong. If you think that you meet the requirements of the job, you probably don’t. If you think when you sign their contract they will – more... follow it, they won’t. If you read the nice and detailed benefits program on their website and think it sounds good......it’s not. If you think this company will take care of you and address problems.......they won’t. I recommend that you don’t make the same mistake that hundreds of unsatisfied employees (who are now unemployed) have made. Unless you are into being used and left in a hazardous foreign country!!!

If you qualify for this job do yourself a favor and contact Dyna corp and make the money you deserve for the work you do in support of the US ARMY and your nation.

Don’t waste your time

IT’S not just me either....Hundreds of employees – less

Do Not Work For This Company!
Aviation Team Lead (Former Employee), Bagram Air Force Base – November 21, 2012
Pros: worked side by side with good people
Cons: the entire operation
Absolute worst company ever! They breached contract upon arrival in country by paying hourly wages instead of salary like my contract said. When asked about why is this so AECOM Site Supervisor, Country Manager, Program Manager all replied with " Get an attorney, it is what it is." Medical benefits are almost non existent, it will cost you $350 to see – more... a doctor for anything, and that cost comes out of your own pocket. Hundreds of people where laid off within a few months due to not being qualified to work on specific airframes, and where given severance packages that didn't even equal one months pay! The people in charge don't give a second thought to its employees and their well being. Living conditions were horrible at first, then they eventually got a little better. – less

Hwxroe – November 26, 2012

I had to leave Kuwait after 34 days of confinement due to a visa problem and handed my luggage stub to the Country Manager in Kuwait. Weeks after arriving to my Home I contacted the main office and they contacted the Country Manager, he said "I do not know anything about that". He lied and stole my luggage and the company did not do anything to solve the problem. They also left me hanging in jail and never contacted my family or the US embassy. DO NOT WORK FOR THIS PEOPLE> they deserve to be suspended or disbarred from Government Contracting.

Interesting place to work with diverse range of projects and responsibilities
PROJECT ARCHITECT (Part-Time) (Former Employee), Orange, CA – October 26, 2012
Pros: benefits, training programs, variety of job assignments, good pay
Cons: fast pace, not much opportunity for advancement, lack of appreciation
Typical day at work started with checking e-mails and voice messages from the clients, construction managers and co-workers following by the preparation of project assignments such as design and production of construction documents, supervision of the junior personnel and responses to construction inquiries (RFI's) from the contractors in the field.
Learning – more... process included professional seminars and lectures, periodic management skills seminars and assessments, as well as, improvements of the computer aided drafting and design programs.
Company management mostly helpful, however somewhat detached.
I had very good relations with co-workers which almost always allowed to resolve design and production problems on a personal level without unnecessary involvement of the upper management.
The hardest part of the job were long hours and very fast pace to keep up with the workload.
The most enjoyable part of job was to be able to provide almost instant response to construction inquiries from the field. – less
