Nothing to more like except timely Pay cheque. in one word i will say that PMC Division of AECOM India is Disaster. if you don't have any other option out of 8 planet, 195 countries and 220 Million Companies then it will be great place for you.

Dislikes

Specifically talking about PMC Division only: 1. Flexible Working hours (that mean you have to always be ready 24X7 for reporting, clarification, meeting and required data submission in very short notice of time) 2. Too much work pressure and toxic client appeasement culture. (You haveto always ready to answer any mess happened on site by client vendors, ironically either AECOM or Clients don't have any monetary control over vendors most of the time so why they will listen to you at first so all responsibility lies to the deputed PMC Engineer ) 3. Traveling, Traveling and More Traveling (You are expected to travel anywhere from 150km to 1500km range without any resistance) 4. Expense incurred during site travel and getting it back. (And here it comes the most challenging part, you are always expected to have surplus amount greater than your salary for upfront site travel expenses and investment towards site expenses. You are lucky enough then you will get back your money on average 40-50 days of submission of claims otherwise your claim will keep getting discarded by account team for not having proper expense proof, approval of managers or documents arrangements as per their ease) 5. Job Security and WLB (After this much dedication into project by investing whole time, some health and offcourse upfront money at the end one thing is enough to destroy all your expectations and mental health that a) client are not happy with our works. b) Project financially not performing as per management expections and you guys are still getting your salary on time, high time to think.) In a nutshell if you don't have any other similar option in terms of salary and project type then only come and learn to work in unnecessary corporate pressure, don't come for the sake of big brand name of AECOM. Do a bit of R&D before joining about specific project by connecting more people from similar job profile on LinkedIn or through personal contacts. Best of luck...Read More

From the time i joined AECOM i have grown tremendously in terms of skills & learning. People inside aecom are super cool & chill.

Dislikes

Work-life balance here mainly depends on the client, if the client has good work culture then its ok, if not , the experience of working hard wont be good. Hikes are not good, yearly there is one hike and for excellent performance i had got just 10% on my CTC, which is quite not satisfactory for the freshers who join at starting packages....Read More

Horrible company with zero work life balance, no job security. They can fire you anytime without any reason, no matter if you are having outstanding ratings. Highly ungreatful company, people are working day and night, spending weekends in office to meet the project deadlines but they consider nothing while kicking out people except favouritism. Senior management is too weird and it's actually not management, just a dictatorship. If anyone wants to even speak up, another day they just need a reason to fire them. We are not employee for them, only a resource which gives output irrespective of struggle with family, health or whatever personal reason it can be.You keep on working for 16 hours or even 24/36 hours continuously but on the name of timesheet, they are struggling to give 8 hours booking. You will get 4 hours booking and rest 16 hours of work will be considered ineffective. And in Pandemic times, they made people to book their leaves. After exhausting all leaves, they laid off employees saying no work in company and asked them to give voluntary resignation. Another day they are taking team meetings and announcing that enough work is there. Also heard that they are now hiring staff on 3/6 months contract via third party after laying off permanent employees. AECOM GDC is the shame on the name of MNCs. If no option left for you people for the job, still don't go there to ruin your career, morale, self confidence and putting black mark on your resume. South Indians are highly favoured. Because of few people at higher position, company become too much regionalistic in approach but the worst part is strategic planning team sitting onsite is not observing these descrepencies....Read More
