CDM Smith Response
1y
A wonderful 5-star review! Thank you for your positive feedback and for being a valued member of the team for so many years! We’re glad to hear you appreciate the flexibility, professionalism and benefits at CDM Smith. We’ll continue to work hard to maintain a great environment for our employees.
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.
