APTIM Reviews

An extra layer of EVPs, VPs, and Presidents ("AECOM of the South") were brought on with $300K+ salaries and had zero idea about the house that Jim Barnhardt built. Chaos ensued and millions were spent with high dollar consultants defining "strategy" and building "marketing trees". Inevitably, long-standing employees who provide the necessary resources to win new contracts were laid off in 3 separate RIFS over six months span. Add to that a Cult-like organizational platform called The Collaborative Way (TCW) was implemented, costing millions, lining the pockets of its leader. (Seriously. Not making this up.) Marketing sends TCW company-wide videos mimicking what we all should have learned in preschool but nary a commercial contract has been won >$100 million. So much for that expensive Marketing/Proposal department. Sad ending as people expected so much more at launch.

CEO is weak and delusional. Has spent millions, on programs such as, “Collaborative Way”, “COE” and Salesforce (all are useless) - yet, this company is actively laying off hundreds of talented, good hearted workers for “cost reductions,” Yet, APTIM has hired multiple, new Executives ( AECOM-lite) with super large salaries? Does not add up. The highly paid executive team, is very robotic. Cold. Clueless. Stay far away! Do not work here! They will lay you off, unless you decide to drink their Kool aid In a PEOPLE industry - these goofs, would rather sit behind a computer desk, look at data sheets, and play with the new SalesForce program, or perhaps talk about how great TCW & COE is, for 40 hours a week.
