Pros

Matrix organization with an entrepreneurial team mindset, Plenty of opportunities to get involved in the growth and success of the firm if you're willing to reach out, several employee growth and development programs - CDM Smith University, Transportation Specialist Development Program, Mentoring, Career Development Planning; The ability to reach across geographical and discipline boundaries to engage in pursuits and projects, Employee recognition programs and other employee benefits that other firms just don't care about. Management from the top down really seem to listen to employee feedback. After 13.5 years with my last firm, and being treated like a worker bee instead of a valued asset, CDM Smith is an energizing and positive environment to work in.

Cons

Too many acronyms, project reporting and accounting systems are outdated but being addressed, stock ownership not available to rank and file employees, only titled staff.
