Pros

The company has had a strong historic reputation for technical excellence and leadership in key areas. For many years it was among the most desired and sought-after companies to work for by engineering and other technical discipline experts. It's legacy of excellence remains an asset.

Cons

Financial problems and turnover in senior leadership have taken its toll. The leadership has adopted the model of its less accomplished but larger peers. It has abandoned the notion of career building for its employees. It has taken the position that only the most senior executives are worthy of bonuses; that in effect everyone else is a replaceable widget. The world is littered with the mediocre that are neither difference makers nor highly profitable. CH2M seems determined to want to join that them. As someone who helped build the company from a regional to national to international firm, that is lamentable.

Thank you for feedback. All companies must evolve and adapt to the marketplace and the stakeholders they serve in order to be competitive. To sustain the greater purpose of CH2M as a global company, the company is evolving too. We encourage you to read the Summary Annual report, which explains changes that are contributing to our stronger sales and backlog and better long-term prospects for our clients, our people, and our company. As a shareholder, we also invite you to participate in the Quarterly Stockholder calls. Thanks, Matt

Pros

Vision and mission, benefits, interesting projects, offices...

Cons

I66 Management is ridiculous. A PM who has absolutely no idea - he's not even an engineer - and a business manager who has been continuously described by the client as incompetent and useless. It weighs heavy on me to hear the client saying " is this really ch2m?"
