Pros

Better than average pay Challenging and diverse projects

Cons

Management does not care about the employee. They see their employees as a commodity to be managed to help grow financially for the company. Managers avoid speaking directly with employees about concerns, and usually wait until the absolute last minute to inform everyone about major changes happening within the company. Due to this disconnect between management and other staff, the feel in the office is very depressing. It has only gotten worse since the merger between Jacobs and Legacy CH2M employees. You can really feel the large corporate atmosphere now. There are still some amazing Legacy CH2M folks roaming the halls, but they are becoming fewer and fewer.
