The organization fosters a positive work culture, is supported by a strong and inspiring leadership team, and offers a highly motivating environment. I’ve also had the privilege of working under one of the best managers one could ask for.
Cons
Due to the need for collaboration with our stakeholders in the US, there are occasions when our timelines in India may need to be adjusted slightly to accommodate time zone differences.

Thank you for your excellent review! We're thrilled to hear that you value the positive work culture, strong leadership, and your experience working with a great manager at CDM Smith. We are glad to have you as part of the team!
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.
