CH2M Employee Reviews about "work life balance"

Pros

Challenging tasks, nice facilities, good work life balance

Cons

Lack of mentoring and coaching

Pros

-Work life balance okay - Longevity -Nice work environment -Cool Projects

Cons

- May feel undervalued -Not very accommodating to women and growing family needs -Too client centric - No perks -Horrible PTO package and sick days -no room for growth -Low salary and no bonuses

Pros

Flexible work schedule, responsibility in complex and long-term projects (worked as a junior engineer), was invited to attend to attend high-level meetings with clients and felt welcomed by executive management, ability to explore career interests outside of direct assignments, strong Junior and Mid-level Professional (JuMP) networking opportunities, strong intern support program through weekly skype trainings, friendly and hard-working people--no slackers!

Cons

Many full-time employees work remotely--good for work life balance but bad for forming relationships since in-person interaction is inconsistent. CH2M was recently acquired by Jacobs Eng. so there is a lot of uncertainty with job security, management changes, and shifts in company culture.

Pros

It is a great place to work.

Cons

Work life balance can vary.

Pros

Good work/life balance if you managed your work well. Great team. Very smart, dedicated people making a difference for each other, the company, and their clients. Work from home option was great. The work was interesting and challenging.

Cons

The pay was low for the hours that needed to be worked. Dwindling staff numbers created an increase in work for the people that remain. Morale was low due to low or non-existent raises, poor communication from the top-down, and an increase in need for job dedication, all while laying people off.

Pros

Work life balance. Technically experienced staff. Challenging and fun projects. Compassionate colleagues.

Cons

Negligible mentoring and career development. Client connections and/or being well-connected to someone in upper management seem to be requirements to career advancement. If you are light on work, you are expected to 'donate' your time.
