Mid and upper management are a mess, totally disconnected from the actual work or the people doing it.

Pros

The only thing that has kept me around is a small core of good people that actually work on projects.

Cons

Delusional mid and upper management Jacobs influx Cronyism in hiring practices for upper level staff Hiring upper level staff under "created" roles Fires employees with open ethics complaints Keeps high level people around on overhead while laying off people that are billable working on projects

Thanks for taking time to write this review and for your service to the company. We pride ourselves on being an ethical company and we encourage all employees to speak up about any concerns about behaviors that are inconsistent with our values. Please get in touch with your ethics ambassador or contact the CH2M Ethics Hotline. We must keep an eye out for behaviors that don’t add to the strong, vibrant culture we have here and welcome any assistance in doing so. Thanks, Matt

Pros

Very flexible company with the ability to telework for some positions. Family-oriented and respectful management. Good training and continuing education. Open door policy and generally good natured co-workers. Plenty of opportunities for advancement if so desired.

Cons

The past few years for CH2M have been turbulent at best. There is constant change and always a fear of yet another Reduction in Force. New top level management in the past two years have made a disconcerting decision to outsource some key functions to Poland, which is disappointing for a US based company.
