Pros

Overall it has been a good company to work for. Great learning opportunities, but have to be self-taught and self-driven. Pay is market rate.

Cons

Company has been bought out by Jacobs Engineering. This is a takeover, not a merger. CH2M is done by the end of the year. We can hope that Jacobs will be kind to IT, but hope is all we have. Some are staying to see what happens, but many have already made a run for it. Trustworthy information about our future is hard to come by.

Pros

History and old philosophy but are things of the past

Cons

Bad managers, even worse senior leadership, could care less about how hard you work and no loyalty

A real mess

Pros

Used to be the great people to work with, but so many have left or been let go that it's getting hard to find the people that have been with the company for years and helped build it.

Cons

Constant restructuring - 2% or less, and sometimes no pay raises. No communication from Management, constantly lowering benefits, all company match in declining CH stock that you can't touch. Floundering executive team trying to convince remaining employees that everything is great with each new operating model...fear this company won't be around in the next couple years.

Thanks so much for your feedback. We recently transitioned to our Client-centric Operating Model, which organizes the company around our clients, and we’re already seeing signs that it’s working! Through these changes, we’re reducing complexity so employees can collaborate more effectively and support our clients more efficiently. We know that this transition hasn’t been perfect, but we’re working hard to identify areas where we need to improve and tackle those issues head on. In terms of communication, we hope you’ll listen to the Employee roundtables, where our CEO and other leaders communicate key happenings in the company. Our Client Sector presidents are holding employee calls as well. You’re also welcome to listen to the quarterly Stockholder calls, where our CEO and CFO communicate CH2M’s financial results and outlook. More than 100 great stories have been posted on the VO, CH2M’s intranet, since January that talk about the operating model change, great wins and exciting awards. We hope you take advantage of these resources so that you’re seeing the focus that management has on growing the business profitably.
