Management at AECOM

My manager is an excellent professional and personal mentor and is very approachable.

Yes make good mentors and are approachable.

Senior management are quite approachable but do tend to give the 'party line' when asked about difficult issues. I haven't been mentored by managers, just senior technical engineers so I can't comment on their mentoring ability. Recognising high-achievers is becoming better.

They are quite busy, mentors by their actions

I am able to talk to my manager at anytime for anything.

My manager called me once a week when I was seconded to a company in a different state which was great. I can chat to him at any time any day.

I feel in most cases that they are good mentors. More performance feedback would be good.

Team leader and associate director are fantastic, but that might just be the Melbourne GET team. They listen to you, take on feedback, and help you with anything you need. Nothing is too difficult for them, and they are just so approachable. Should be able to give more than 10.

Varies on the person, but if you push carefully you can build a consistent rapport with some managers. They will not necessarily actively go to each person individually and interact with them. Squeaky wheel

good communication with immediate management, upper management only standard corporate emails

I have been lucky enough to have a manager and a mentor that is always available to chat etc.

Very accessible, very friendly and always approachable.

Communication is generally good. For graduates there is access to mentoring. A well balance performance and reward system.

Line managers keep team up to date with monthly meetings. Other managers do morning tea on Fridays to discuss goings on in the business.

Management is generally receptive to staff at all levels.

Visible leadership team via different forms of communication (regional office visits, emails), performance feedback received well

every month, group managers hold a team brief, every week, my direct manager holds a resource meeting yearly performance review

Engage with leaders and managers on a regular basis. They are very approachable

Outside the immediate groups directors, senior management is pretty removed from the client facing staff. Probably more hierarchical than necessary at a corporate level leading to the normal problems of politics between regions. Lots of Industry/Market/Technical/Group/Region/Client 'Directors' incorporated into the org structure that over complicates the relationships between clients and the client facing staff.

Each team has a team leader who communicates with the larger group leaders and corporate above that. Each month the higher ups will hold a meeting for the larger groups to tell us about changes to the business etc. They make me feel like I am a valued part of the company, and always say that we can approach them to chat.
