Pros

Flexible work schedule including teleworking. Strong engineers and CAD/GIS people.

Cons

Over the last year oil and gas leadership has filled with ex-Jacobs executives that sank the ship at their previous company. They are doing the same here now. Management doesn't understand the market and completely misforcasts manpower requirements, cut back way too far now everyone is burning out and stress levels are extremely high. Managementer has buried their head in the sand and don't talk to the people doing the work.

Thanks for the feedback. The downturn in the oil and gas market has forced many companies, including ours, to make tough decisions and those decisions often affect good people. Our hope is that when market conditions improve, we can welcome back employees affected by the downturn whom would like to return to CH2M. Thanks

Pros

Very enthusiastic employee base and an active diversity mix. Definitely unique and embracing efforts to engage all aspects of the employee diversity. Company is really good about standing up to their project commitments. Corporation has a very generous separation package for employees laid off. Employee owned a bonus. Smart people in their employ.

Cons

Management does not appear to understand the business groups they have engaged through their acquisitions. Their interference in the operations of their Energy and Oil & Gas Sectors has cost the company financial losses. Off shoring of services and employment is bad for the US and very shortsighted simply for a company stock bump. If the corporation were run smarter it might not need to go off shore.
