CH2M Hill Experience

Pros

Innovative projects will some of the most talented people in the industry. Could spend a life-time working there and continue to learn.

Cons

The office politics were unbearable and it seem to go high up the ranks. It got a lot worse with the recession. People were doing anything imaginable to undermine each other. Almost everyone (about 90 percent) gets an performing review aka average, leaving very little on ways to improve. Anyone who has been there for a while will say it is not the same company it was a few years ago. I doubt it will ever be rated as one of the best companies to work for again.

Unreal Expectations, Poor Communication

Pros

Highly skilled professionals. Get to work with a number of the largest pharma companies, plus some smaller sized as well.

Cons

I work at one of the former Lockwood Greene offices. CH2MHill has never understood the pharmaceutical engineering business and made a major mistake acquiring us. They have insisted on much higher margins than are typical for this business, and have not compromised during this economic downturn (unlike our competitors), with the net result that we have won very few projects and the business is being driven into the ground. They seemingly would rather have us die on the vine than admit they made a mistake and sell us off (or accept lower profits). The other problem is that there is absolutely no communication between management and the rest of the staff - sounds typical for this industry (read the Jacobs reviews). So much for a "professional" environment, and an employee-owned company!
