Pros

A few great people left. Some flexibility in work schedule. Some interesting projects (nice to hear about, but you probably won't have the opportunity to work on them). If you are male and are not a minority, it is likely that CH will have big plans for you. Better than having no job?

Cons

Opportunities for growth are rare. Those that are successful within the company and are in positions to help others advance either don't care to help or don't have time to help those that are struggling with advancement issues. Decisions for promotions and access to opportunities rely heavily on favoritism. Metrics used to measure performance are extremely subjective and performance assessment methods are used to prevent advancement rather than encourage growth and development. Human resources lacks professionalism and is completely unethical in how they handle matters. Don't trust the responses on here urging you to tell your supervisor or the Guideline--it all gets back to the same HR management team that will ultimately do nothing for you. Your comments and reports might even be used against you. Poor leadership. No transparency. No apparent understanding of what the company needs to be successful (or they just don't care).

Pros

Strong individuals doing the work. Flexible schedule with opportunity to work from home. Still getting good projects that are challenging and can build strong PM skills.

Cons

A pack of spider monkeys would be a more effective senior leadership team. The CEO is a clueless stooge following in the footsteps of the previous CEO. They continue to add layers of useless management to solve the problem of too much management. Her strongest contribution is acting as a cheerleader during the update calls. How can you pull in billions in revenue and not make any money? The shareholder value has been destroyed and the reputation of the company may never recover. People continue to flee the sinking ship and the trend will continue as long as the lunatics are running the asylum.

Pros

The Pros are not very special than others.

Cons

Poor management as so many layers of layers of business, local , regional and global management. Need to get all layers approval to bid works and as a results too late. Ch2 avoiding to do design work in engineering and it will lead to dead end of the business.
