Global Company That Needs Leadership Change at the Top 5 Levels - Senior Project Manager CH2M Employee Review

Pros

Still many staff, those that are looked at as a number the 95% as Jacque and the other "leaders" refer to in the propaganda speeches aka roundtables (not those who hold the top sector leadership positions) who care about the company and their coworkers (globally not just in the US). Offers a good work life balance, fair pay and benefits. Offices and opportunities all over the world for those that want to own their careers.

Cons

Those in Sr Management and Leadership positions, especially the CEO. All the company is focused on is the result ($) and not the why (people). Recent reorganization now has 1 manager for every 70 people and they are trying to have staff believe that this is better for their career development (how bad was a 10/1 ratio) that you have now gone to a 70/1 ratio? The CEO, Jacque, has had 5 strategies in 5 years....there has been an outside investment of 300M (how close we were to actually not making payroll), purchase of a company in an industry that was already dead (Terra - Oil&Gas) and a stock price that has tanked (oh yes, 3rd quarter announcement is a month and a half behind plan and it was filed with the SEC that it likely won't be announced till the end of January because of an audit). It's time for the top 5 levels of management to be put to pasture and let them graze on the millions of dollars they've taken from the bank accounts of the staff.

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?"
