      Kinda like subconsulting, but at a miniscule fraction of the pay

      Pros

      Could be a good career launching board. IF you can hack not getting paid for your work and are ok with lying about your skill set so that you can get paid. This is a company that relies on nepotism. You need to know somebody to get work (you only get paid for project work btw. (So yeah that amazing database you want to build for the company to make a task 10x more efficient...that'll be on your own time). And in order to get your foot in the door you need to lie about what you are qualified to do. Yes that's right, there are knobs who know nothing wandering out in the bush with electrofishing backpacks and botanical keys calling themselves aquatics technician and botanists when they don't even know a rainbow from a brook trout or a willow from a herb.

      Cons

      Does not pay employees for the majority of their work. Low emphasis on good quality work. If an employee wants to produce something higher quality and that takes more time, well they won't get paid for that. Also be prepared for bare bones everything. Pencils? Oh, you supply those yourself. Printing? now you have to log into the printer and wait 10 min for a single page of paper. Is that billable? nope, that'll be on your own time. The gist of this is 1. RUN! 2. Don't even think about sending in a resume, worst mistake you'll ever make. 3. Sometimes I think even a place as bad a ghostpine might be better than CH2M.

      Poor senior leadership has decimated the company

      Pros

      Global presence. Highly technical work. Used to be a lot of good people there.

      Cons

      Terrible vision by the previous CEO and senior management (which included the current CEO) led to devastating financial losses, layoffs, constant restructuring and low morale. Very difficult to be promoted internally. Constant fight for steady billable work.
