Variety of consulting experiences
Chemical Engineer (Current Employee) – Herndon, VA – August 7, 2013
URS Corporation is a global engineering and environmental services company, but the Air Quality Group in Herndon, Virginia is like a close-knit team. Everyone collaborates on a variety of consulting projects, with clients from state and government agencies, department of defense, energy industry, healthcare, and other private companies. The work is a nice mix of engineering, law, and customer service.
Pros
Work/life balance, opportunities to travel, and valuable experience with variety of industries
Cons
Poor vacation accrual, non-competitive pay for entry-level employees, and lack of consistent billable work

Manager (Former Employee) – Piscataway, NJ – November 11, 2018

Good place to work if you are looking for good pay in the Lemoore area.
Aircraft Worker (Plane Captain) (Former Employee) – Naval Air Station Lemoore, CA – November 8, 2018
As long as a person gets their qualifications and know what they are doing, then the job itself is easy. Everyday you are assigned to a different task.
Overall employees are good
Staff Support II (Former Employee) – Columbia, SC – November 7, 2018
Typical work day varies but overall relaxed. Immediate supervisor not good. Over work culture for me no room for advancement. Hardest part of the job was my immediate supervisor. Best part was my coworkers.
Great co-workers
Materials Management Specialist (Current Employee) – Chantilly, VA – November 6, 2018
Each day that I show up for work I know that no matter the pace of the day, the team work that my co-workers and I will display will match and exceed the expectations of our customers.

Pros
Flexible Schedule
Cons
Heavy workload
adequate compensation, dreadful hours, cut-throat work culture, nepotism and poor management
Mechanical Maintenance Technician (Former Employee) – Pueblo Chemical Depot, CO – November 4, 2018
Given the task of de-militarization/neutralization of live chemical weapons, some of the work was extremely dangerous. That said, the compensation was well deserved. The hours/schedule were brutal due to use of the "du-pont" schedule. I found the work culture and environment very toxic, misleading, dishonest and confusing due to blatant nepotism and poor advancement practices.
I do not remember work for AECOM but I worked for Washington Group
Surveyor / Desktop Support (Former Employee) – Denver, CO – November 4, 2018
The time I spent at Washington Group was a comfortable and productive work environment, I learn to work in the field collecting data and to draw the survey plans through MicroStation and AutoCAD
Pros
growth potential
Cons
short term
Good Learning Experience
Computer Systems Analyst II (Current Employee) – Fallon, NV – November 1, 2018
Great Benefits. Decent hours and good pay. Great place to learn and grow your technical skills. Company hiring process is very easy and human resources are very friendly.
Pros
Health Insurance
Cons
Schedule
Pay is not the best
Supply Process Coordinator (Current Employee) – Bagrām – November 1, 2018
There's room to grow within the company. The pay could be better considering that this is a hazardous work environment. Also should look into changing the clearance process.
It’s who you know
Blue Grass Chemical Agent Destruction Pilot Plant (Current Employee) – Richmond, KY 40475 – October 31, 2018
Get it going in door cause you are going to get lousy raises and ever increasing cost of Benifits - amazing how how much benefits cost increase faster than wages
Pros
Not many
Cons
Plenty
Miserable place to work.
Aircraft Survival Flight Equipment Technician 1 (Former Employee) – Jacksonville, FL – October 30, 2018
Management was terrible and unfocused. They weren't engaged and when they tried to engage, their priorities were not their employees. They were simply trying to meet the established metrics.
Utilization Rate
Project Controls Manager (Current Employee) – Denver, CO – October 29, 2018
Work culture is all about your utilization rate. Employees are widgets which must be billable to be worth keeping around. Plan on finding your own work with no help from management.
Poor Management
Aircraft Painter (Current Employee) – Fort Campbell, KY – October 28, 2018
AECOM is a fast paced company. I have worked in the paint booth for almost a year. As a painter at AECOM you are expected to perform all duties from sanding, masking, surface prep, bodywork, and paint.
Pros
All the overtime you could want.
Cons
Management
Highly bureaucratic and risk-averse
PROJECT MANAGER (Current Employee) – New York, NY – October 27, 2018
AECOM treats its labor impersonally. The company offers poor benefits and is not shy about eroding them to satisfy shareholder demand. I had anticipated the opportunity to do innovative work, but found that the company is highly bureaucratic and risk-averse. Because there is no room for overhead, there are few formal opportunities to gain skills. People are also fiercely protective of their timesheets, and often interpret offers to help make things move efficiently as an attempt to "steal" their work.
Pros
Exposure to diverse clients; opportunity to work on world-class projects
Cons
Management that prioritizes short-term profit over long-term strategy
worked for them along time ago
Environmental Inspector (Former Employee) – New York, NY – October 24, 2018
Worked for them a long time ago and management has changed so my review would not be accurate.I don't have anything else to say, but i need a minimum of 150 characters....
