Pros

No shortage of projects to work on. Talented engineers.

Cons

As an engineer you will spend more time on administrative tasks (invoicing with substandard finance staff, project reviews and prep, etc.) than technical parts of projects or serving clients. This combined with being understaffed makes it a difficult place to thrive and do the exciting work. It’s a company that seems to have a large imbalance of finance over technical. Turnover seems high especially in the on staff recruiters. Also don’t seem to understand competitive benefits by region.

I am sorry to learn your experience at CHA was not ideal. I agree that we must focus on hiring the most talented staff to produce the highest quality work; and that we need enough of that talent to make sure we can sustain the exceptional quality of work our clients are accustomed to. At CHA we are growing quickly, and we are working hard every day to ensure our employees are having a positive, supportive experience. In 2022 we conducted an employee engagement exercise and from what we have learned, we've implemented several changes as a result of what we learned; including offering our employees hybrid PPO plan as part of our comprehensive health benefits offerings for 2023.

Pros

Seeing a pattern of addressing only the pros and rarely having any accountibiloty to comments in Cons section, Pros will not be listed here.

Cons

-Hyper critical work culture to point that compromises employee personal and office morale -Almost no field support and field between on-site field team is almost impossible -Field supervisors are spread very thin in responsibility which causes the above issues -Employee personal dislikes are apparent on teams which lead to discordant team dynamics. Ex. Team member will laugh and joke with some team members, but other get professional, but near frigid responses. -Favoritism is rampant creating a less than ideal work environment.
