Pros

Collaboration with professional colleagues. Proud of the work product. Middle management tries hard to shelter/protect staff from poor management practices of Director/VP levels.

Cons

There seems to be a communication breakdown between the CEO's direct reports and below. The CEO may say, cut costs by 10M to a direct report, however that direct report provides no guidance on how to go about doing this. So VP/Directors scramble to cut here and there, sometimes in a logical fashion however many cuts are made in a knee jerk reation just to satisfy the higher-ups. No thought to how it affects the business in the long run. It's all short term, reactive management.

Pros

It is tough to come up with something good to say about this company. One issue that is positive is the manner in which it values it own stock. Since 2004 it has risen from $10 to about over $35.

Cons

The management team acts childish at times and doesn't function as a team. Overall lack of professional from the top down. There was a time when CH2MHILL was like a large family. The idea of employee owenership was paramount. Over the past 5 years this idea has been replaced with a top down organization where the employees need to work harder to provide for the lavish salaries and benefits for the top management. Outside management has replaced those that built the compnay and they do anything for a profit and to keep te stock price up. CH makes me sick to watch as employees are lead down a path to acquisition, and don't see it coming. NEW EMPLOYEES, make sure you suckup to your boss, and don't forget to suck up to his boss as your boss may be gone tomorrow.
