Pros

Very flexible employer with high degree of ethical approach. Great people at all levels. Very exciting and worthwhile projects. Employee ownership model is a fantastic opportunity for all employees to own their future

Cons

Insufficient investment in formal development opportunities. There was a period where the previous CEO was not being as open about company performance as he should have been - that seems to be being put right now.

The Clock is Ticking....

Business Outlook

Pros

Strong legacy culture; strong/excellent brand image externally; in the right markets; and finally have shed ourselves of the conceit that we could hire second stringers and compete as a builder with real construction companies. Reputation as a great place to work and grow as a professional employee still exists in some offices and markets, but it is at risk.

Cons

Impending brain drain and also loss of internal leadership associated with first time ever voluntary retirement. Senior management now lacks the history of CH2M HILL culture; and events of the past few years have cost management their credibility with staff. Senior managers talk about growth and development but demonstrate they either can't or won't follow through on their commitments.. Rollout of the VRP was a PR disaster... everyone was/is unhappy about who and how -- it was unprofessional in its construct, insulting and will be damaging over the near term. Morale issues will worsen into next year as all staff will be looking over their shoulders awaiting the axe... The best won't wait but rather seek better alternatives.
