Pros

Knowledge from others. If you are a graduate, not a bad place to kick start here. But after a few years reality will set in

Cons

Aurecon keeps changing its focus and theme till some execs themselves are confused.Having been here for years, if you have a not too bad job I can only say the grass here is denifinitely not greener.Annual employee survey speaks for itself,yet execs are still scratching their head. Come next year when new Mr Iron Fist CEO joins in, only hope is it wont get any worse for staff.Unless you are a workaholic,career advancement remains a dream.

Business Outlook

Pros

good 'women in engineering' network

Cons

Encouraged to keep quiet and accept the old way. Innovation and change scares middle management. workers kept in the dark about important issues. Difficulty keeping to budget with drafting pool booking pc downtime to my project. IT support unsatisfactory. Female staff paid less than male equivalent. Some staff have never worked anywhere else, very institutionalised, toe the line or else. Have witnessed management treat some colleagues unfairly. I wont be back

Corporate politics, favoritism, to much offshoring.

Business Outlook

Pros

Flexible working arrangements, depending on role and management.

Cons

In recent times Aurecon has been struggling to win work, has limited projects with no long term significant engagements. Work culture has progressively declined. Half the business is offshored and the hits keep on coming. I cannot recommend this business to anyone.
