Pros

Solid future outlook for CDM Smith Environmentally Conscious Good compensation and benefits

Cons

Projects are often billed low so pressure to complete work quickly is a bit stifling. My office is small; if you are one of the 'in' people you might enjoy the environment, otherwise it feels a pretty judgmental and closed team. Company has an overall 'old engineering' style, despite efforts to ramp up technology. In my position ive been pidgeon-holed, stuck below a mid level engineer who is extremely successful, only delegating me 'busy work' for over a year now.
