Pros

Pay was good. Time commitments was good Benefits were passable and not terribly expen

Cons

It may be an ESOP, but the company is run by Project management. CH2M Hill is supposed to be one of the most Ethical Firms in the USA, but I didn't find this to be accurate. Part of my position was to source services. I discovered a major flow in the pre-existing plans. Through my skills and knowledge, I found a safe, lower cost and much lower risk solution. For this I did receive verbal commendations. However, the Project Manager and the JV Partner at the Project site did not appreciate my disrupting their plans - I was accused of being somehow tied to my 'blokes'. A role at CH2M Hill could be OK, but you have to review the REAL power structure for your job. I was not working for the PM; I wasn't even supposed to be working for the Procurement Manager - I was just tossed to the wolves by the technical director to satisfy the PM. Good luck to you if you go here.

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?"
