Folks:

Have you ever wanted to be treated unprofessionally during a phone interview? Do you want to interact with a recruiting idiot? Well, now you can by simply applying for a job at John M. Dionisio run AECOM. There are many pathetic things about Sacramento based recruiter Sequoia Howell that you may not even know. Did you know that Sequoia Howell requests candidates to interview via email and then she never responds for months? That's right, folks, when Sequoia Howell was contacted about a potential interview, Sequoia Howell rolled over and played dumb and claimed she never got this person's email for over a month. The problem is that the person's internet service provider said otherwise. Sequoia Howell reacted quite quickly and with hostility after this person threatened to report AECOM to the Los Angeles Times. Sequoia Howell falsely claimed this person would be bad for business. Has Sequoia Howell ever worked with this person like several of the other AECOM employees have? Most likely not! Guess Sequoia Howell has an allergy to people who are smarter than those currently employed at AECOM! The reason Sequoia Howell refuses to employ smart people is because they would come up with ways to make their company more efficient. Does Sequoia Howell not want to save the company money?


Sequoia Howell is so dumb she is willing to throw away $120 million in savings for her company AECOM, run by CEO John M. Dionisio. How many people come to interview a company have a California Structural Engineer License, 14 years of experience, and a Master's degree? Not too many that we know of. This person was interviewed on several radio stations on the West Coast and even made appearances on national radio shows. We find this individual a great match for AECOM. Even this person had their work checked by AECOM engineers and even recruited this person to work for AECOM. But Sequoia Howell and her boss John M. Dionisio does not because Sequoia Howell does not like smart employees according to our encounters.


Sequoia Howell has demonstrated many things, like she has a deep-seated hatred for people who are smarter than the people employed at AECOM. Can we tell you why Sequoia Howell has a job at AECOM? We believe it's because Sequoia Howell's an American Indian woman who appears not to be competent at all!At AECOM, they didn't invent job discrimination against the long-term unemployed, they just perpetrate it. Is this what Sequoia Howell wants to do: create a class of highly intelligent engineers who are on public assistance? Well, Sequoia Howell needs to realize is that money will be diverted away from AECOM's projects and into social services programs such as food stamps. Will Sequoia Howell want to pay for any federal student loans that have been defaulted on because she refuses to hire these people? We believe she should. After all, Sequoia Howell's mishaps have been reported to California State Senator Mike Allen - who wishes to pass laws banning job discrimination against the long-term unemployed.


What Sequoia Howell doesn't want people to know is that AECOM really is a bad company. Don't take our word for it. According to evaluations at Glassdoor:Work-life balance can be an issues at times, particularly since the economic downturn. While core values list employees as an important asset, this is often lacking in day to day operations both in the Sacramento office and from the corporate level.Layoffs coupled with the thoughtless dropping of remaining workload onto remaining staff (not delegated, which would imply thinking was involved) have created a negative unhappy stressful work environment. Very Political. Good, solid engineers are taken advantage of, used, and sucked dry. There is not time for training / mentoring of staff.

Layoffs started around (you guessed it) Christmas Eve! Basically you already had a relatively beaten down and demoralized workforce facing the grim reality that they would be next in the line of fire. And by January 2011 about 2 or three people were getting the axe per week (it is April now and this has continued). It created an ugly political and cultural atmosphere where there was once a positive environment became a dreadful place to come to work. Everyone was on pins and needles and production took a huge hit, gossip and fear mongering became rampant, people started to step all over eachother - and of course upper management seamed only to encourage the madness as they continue to sink even further as an organization. Astonishingly some of the other organizations that AECOM views as "competitors" (Gensler, HOK, Aedas, RTKL, SOM, etc) were hiring people.


Folks out there can read the other interviews & reviews on Glassdoor so they can learn about the bad company known as AECOM, employing Sequoia Howell & John M. Dionisio. Now if Sequoia Howell wants to address the problem and hire this person, she is free to do so. She should hire this person now or AECOM will lose their clients. The choice is up to Sequoia Howell and AECOM. Sequoia Howell makes AECOM hiring stupidity you can count on.
