No opinion of CEOI have been working at AECOM part-time (More than 10 years)
Pros
Decent benefits
Interesting projects
Good work life balance with flexible working options availableCons
Poor salary, which also differs massively within grades - no transparency. Staff on lower grades often paid more than those above them and nothing is ever done to rectify this.
Those who shout the loudest are the ones who get rewarded, not necessarily the ones who deserve it
Too much upper managementAdvice to Management
Review your staff's salaries and make them more streamlined. Implement effective market adjustments to sort the imbalance.
Stop rewarding those who simply shout the loudest and instead focus on those who produce results. This requires listening to your employees. Voices are lost as the message is distributed so far up the approval chain. More power to line managers needed as they are the ones that know their staff.AECOM 2018-12-05 01:02 PST![AECOM Logo]()
