Pros

Had excellent exp. to work with Mumbai , Hyderabad business groups. Got amazing in depth knowledge & experience of working with some of the best Project Managers in the industry. Most of these managers came with experience from the merged organization of HALCROW. Great work environment & co workers at Mumbai, Hyderabad & few teams at Noida. Successful teams to work with :Urban Programs, Hydropower , Ports & Marine, Buildings & Bridges.

Cons

Lack of leadership & zero decision making rights in India for the last 2 years. Many key managers chosen from CH2MHill are at decision making roles without a broader vision of the entire business & necessary knowledge / experience about the industry in India. Would like to clear that all at Sr. Mgmt are not necessarily useless. Sr. Management leaders who have the ability to lead & direct the business on the right track have been sidetracked or authority based work has been taken away from them so that no threat of a Change or improvement arises!!! Attrition is at its peak & shall continue as the organization has lost efficient personnel for the last 2 years across Delhi, Mumbai & Hyderabad .It has not been able to retain the fresh hires across All management levels.

Pros

Poor considering the size of the organisation.

Cons

Unethical and lack respect for employees. CH2MHILL bought Tera and demonstrate unethical practices when it comes to staff retention. Tera's Director of HR and VP of communication terminated the employment of many hard working people. Senior management have no clue about the work people do beneath them. Stay away from this company. CH2MHILL has been doing poorly financially which is why they bought into the environmental market. They do not understand the business.

Pros

There are really great people doing tremendous things for the environment. The company culture is respect for the employees and everyone owns a piece of the company. Leadership in general tries to do the right things for the employees and the clients. The people on site that I work with are genuine and very good at what they do. The commitment to diversity is a wonderful value across the board.

Cons

Money for training and employee development gets cut early in the year and then not reinstated later in the year. Middle managers need training on people management. The current CEO is clueless about operations and micro manages everything down to where people sit on her floor. Her bio is fraudulent and she married the former CEO's best friend and college roommate to get the job. Men at CH are now wondering how they can break through the "glass ceiling" and move up. She is surrounding herself with "yes" women.
