A great disappointment

Pros

The firm offers somewhat decent salaries depending on your position, a good benefits package with generous sick & vacation policies and a flexible work schedule. Recent office redesigns bring a contemporary, fresh look to what was previously a stuffy, stodgy physical work environment.

Cons

It is widely accepted by long term staff that the recent structural reorganization has put the wrong people with poor management skills in charge of the firm. The end result is an insecure leadership team consumed by backstabbing, infighting and finger pointing. There seems to be no desire to improve morale, reward hard work, update systems and processes, or engage in modern business management practices. The HR department is either asleep at the wheel or not properly empowered to effect positive change so the end result is a depressing atmosphere with a staff that is overwhelmingly dissatisfied and uninspired by top managers.

Pros

CDM is a good place to work for recent college graduates. They offer a variety of projects to new engineers and their starting salaries as competitive.

Cons

Management gives mediocre annual raises. Project managers worry about their budgets more than the people that they supervise. Most people at CDM do not like their job.
