I found out for myself the hard way…They’re even worse than KBR, if you can believe that!

In the pecking order of contactors hiring tradesmen, from worse to better:

AECOM
KBR
DynaCorp
Fluor

Stay away from AECOM! Bad management, especially at the PM and DPM level…you’re just boots on the ground to screw the US taxpayer. They brag that their make up will eventually be 70% Indian and 30% ex-pat (it’s now about 50/50); the Indians don’t complain and are more malliable than the Yanks. The US taxpayer is getting hosed again, because not one dime of an Indian’s salary will be used in the US, while the ex-pat’s pay will indeed “stimulate” the economy while keeping the worker off of food stamps.

Does anyone have any info on how AECOM is to work for? Do they pay on time, treat their employees with respect, etc.?

Seems to me that the industries providing these goods and services needs some true competition – a company along the pricing lines of “WalMart” and “Macy’s”, not like some store on “Rodeo Drive” in California.
Wish I knew someone who wanted to go into this type of business with me, who had the financial backing, who has ethics, morals, who believes in “GOD”, a person who is not Greedy.
I understand making a profit – but the prices mentioned above reminds me of the $600 toilet seat, that the taxpayers had to pay years ago.
