CH2M talks about work-life balance, but in reality this is not true. There is considerable pressure to stay client billable and if you are not, it is very likely that you are going to be made redundant. CH2M has a little yellow book of values, but rarely follows it, and management pressures employees. One specific example would be the DTRA Program Manager - who insists that his direct reports and staff that work on the DTRA program only bill 8hrs per day on their timesheet, regardless of the actual hours that they work. Although this is a direct violation of company policy - it is forced upon the employees who work on this program.
