Pros

Can work on good projects and most people are really good to work with.

Cons

Your success (and raise, promotion, etc) is 100% dependent on who in management likes you and is not related to your performance on the job or how good a job you do or what kind of client ratings you get.

Pros

Co-workers, those who are left. Flexible working conditions, including hours and location. Brand is still fairly strong in the marketplace, at least as it relates to technical capability. Reputation for solvency is another matter entirely. Clients and competitors are taking notice.

Cons

Executive leadership. We are in a financial bind - for a number of reasons - yet the top tier of the organization keeps growing, and growing and growing - with people who offer little value, siphon already tight sales and project budgets, and impose processes and values that are not in keeping with CH2M's little yellow book. We could save some time and simply rename the firm "Jacobs #2". The behaviors exhibited by some of these newer folks in some cases are absolutely shameful. The corporate sales org in particular is an embarrassment in its treatment of staff and its utter lack of respect for others, in general. Absolutely shameful.

Pros

After half a lifetime as a loyal and energetic leader with CH2M, I have seen the firm at is't bets and at it's worst. When it is good, it is nothing short of amazing. It was my second family and so very many incredible people. great communications, great systems, great tools & great technology

Cons

Financial struggles have forced the firm to make massive cuts in employee support, employee to supervisor ratio is so high many staff may never meet their supervisor. Huge project losses and crushing creditor debt are only adding to the herculean amount the firm owes to retirees and past employees Although the "talk" is to increase employee support, the reality is questionable
