      last few years have been most difficult of my career

      Pros

      steady workload, annual increases though modest

      Cons

      constant badgering to complete work. no flexibility with work schedule. The new breed of project managers are lacking in technical and organizational skills (BIG TIME!!). 3D is the biggest JOKE of all time, every function group uses a different platform. The moral in my office is as bad across the board as i've seen in my 10+ years.

      Merger and regional reorganization has left the company adrift.

      Pros

      There are no longer any good reasons to work for CDM Smith.

      Cons

      total focus on billability and utilization instead of trying to win more work or distribute regional work to keep people employed. The merger with Wilbur Smith, the fracture of the western region into areas that include geographically dissimilar states, complete lack of career paths, and total emphasis on the bottom line has alienated employees and clients. Office moral is at an all time low. Layoffs have created a snowball effect, where everyone else is leaving or looking to leave. A vibrant office environment of dedicated professionals doing create community work has been decimated.

      Pros

      Nice people, growth opportunities in different locations in US and globally, new executive leadership team who will hopefully make some big changes for the positive, interesting work that makes a difference in the world, diversity in workforce.

      Cons

      Conservative culture that sometimes needs to get out of it's own way and understand what is happening in today's global market and labor force. US dominated. Some IT systems a bit behind.
