Worst Place I Have Ever Worked

Pros

Flexibility, name recognition, some long term employees left who are innovative and care about the right things.

Cons

This is hands down the worst company I have ever worked for. Nepotism and sexism run rampant in the company, promotions are based on tenure and who your "buddies" are, which has resulted in leaders who have poor leadership skills and often times lack basic competence. Too much management that does little managing. Decisions by company leadership and reactionary and made in a vacuum. Constant reorganization has led to internal chaos, making it difficult to deliver work. While flexible work arrangements are available, work-life balance is a joke and most people work around the clock. Benefits (which may be in line with industry standards) are dismal compared to almost every other industry. The Denver campus is depressing and reflects the sad state of the company.

Pros

Very good place to work. Associates were knowledgeable and willing to share information with one another. Corp vibe was relax and focus on just getting the job done. A number of perks were always given out.

Cons

Management mismanaged accounts and contracts. This was about the only down side other than that it was a great place to work.

Pros

The culture is great and the people are intelligent and collaborative, perhaps because it remains majority employee owned. The current executive leadership team has a clear vision of where they want to take the organization. Work life balance matters and there are various possible career paths.

Cons

Reporting your hours is an unfortunate reality in most design and engineering firms so they can bill their clients and track costs and CH2M in no exception. The benefits are decent but not the best I've had, especially the healthcare benefits, tuition reimbursement, and 401k, but that shortcoming can be addressed via salary considerations.
