Pros

Great Benefits Department in HR.

Cons

I have been working at CDM Smith for 7 years now and ran into obstacles when it comes to the HR Department, more specifically with employee referrals. I have recommended entry level candidates to Campus Recruiting and haven't got any response. This is especially disappointing to see as an employee for the fact you hope that your opinions are valued. In dealing with benefits they have always been helpful but whenever dealing with Campus Recruiting I have faced nothing but hurdles. I hope this information helps. Thank you.

Pros

Flexible hybrid schedule is very nice and starting salary is high for early career engineers.

Cons

The main people running the company are not engineers and you can tell. They are all focused on utilization with rates often set at 97% or higher. This had led to my supervisor asking/telling me to not charge company required trainings. As an early engineer it really feels like they don't want to invest in me and only care about their bottom line. If you are an early career structural engineer you will also not get any meaningful work until you've been with the company for at least 5 years. The senior engineers do not trust you and will only give you grunt work.
