Working at AECOM in Denver, CO: 4 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Denver, CO Area

"I've thoroughly enjoyed my coworkers and the overall atmosphere at AECOM. It was a good entry level job, but raises are minimal and pay isn't competitive, especially considering the cost of living in Denver. I like my work day to day, but the far below market rate salary and poor benefits have soured my relationship. For the first 5 years, you're only allowed 15 PTO days, and that includes sick days. They also told us we had to use PTO if sick with Covid-19, disregarding the labor department leave requirements."

"AECOM is a big company with interesting project. In many cases too big to be efficient."

"My experience with AECOM made me lose faith in fairness and equality in corporate America. Growing up in a foreign company, I was taught that a job is extremely important and you give your all. This I did. My job came to define me. I took great pleasure in thinking that I was adding value and helping my employer succeed. This dedication sadly was seemingly not appreciated by all, and soon there was little to no feedback between my supervisor and me. My health suffered, relationships failed and my home life was neglected. I continued to work to deliver because I was afraid to fail, make mistakes or be laid off. But despite it all, on October 10, 2018, I was laid off under the claim that the position had been eliminated for lack of enough work. This story changed later to poor performance, which to this day I will never agree with. My wish for AECOM is to change its approach to recognizing issues when reported. Do not immediately favor management because management is not always right. Take the extra steps to truly understand issues brought up, and diverse personalities. This company prides itself on embracing diversity, but I did not see that practiced in my case. For those thinking of interviewing with AECOM, set firm boundaries that protect work-life balance. I am thankful for the opportunity to exercise my right to freedom of expression/speech by sharing my experience at AECOM. My story, while a painful one, is hopeful because I've grown to develop a new appreciation for life, regained a sense of self-worth and a desire for a healthy work dynamic/environment. My experience with a new company has begun to re-instill in me the belief that not all of corporate America is unfair. There are companies out there that truly embody what fairness and equality are while embracing and appreciating diversity. I'm hoping that my experience and my story will be a learning opportunity for AECOM and its employees."
