Corporate Disconnect

Pros

I am fortunate to have my job and was not included in recent layoffs.

Cons

Company cutting jobs and overhead, yet are spending money on 'rebranding' and cute internal facebook look-alike. There seems to be a huge disconnect somewhere along the line. Employees are questioning actions.

One Star Rating Based on ANZ Business

Pros

It is unfortunate that CH2M HILL has not acted quickly to remove the business ethics and practices of former Halcrow Group Directors and Senior Executives with the ANZ business as the impression is that overall CH2M HILL internationally has a good employee culture.

Cons

The business is top heavy in Director and Executive levels who deliver little. Within ANZ it has a large issue with former Halcrow Group Directors and key Senior Management team who have no track record in delivering opportunities. Within ANZ there is complete mismanagement which is leading to a decline in business opportunities and CH2M HILL do not appear to be taking a decision to remove key former Halcrow Group senior management who are underperforming.

Pros

Interesting project work lots of challenging projects that can help you build your skill set. Very strong and talented people. Good paid time off after five years. Good front line management. Very flexible work schedule, ability to work from home often or telecommute full time. Employee ownership.

Cons

Very bad management at the enterprise level. Multiple managers doing the same job as a result of constant reorganization of management. Very poor business planning. The most important goal of management has been short term stock price increase. Stretch projections provided by the BD group are unrealistically augmented. This gives the perception that goals are being set base on what is needed to increase the stock price rather than what can realistically be achieved. Goals are missed and massive overhead cuts occur. This has been the theme for the past couple years. Micromanagement of projects by some of the project delivery managers. The environmental group is viewed as a second class outfit, even though this is the most profitable group.
