Pros

Great Firm.. Employee owned company that allows the firm to operate, invest, and grow as the owning employees choose. CDM Smith has a competitive salary structure and far above average benefit plan than typical environmental engineering firms. Prides itself on impeccable client service.

Cons

The firm is committed to increasing employee engagement and staff retention. CDM currently has a lower staff turnover rate than over firms but increasing the focus on this is paramount

Pros

Our office is moving to a new, renovated location soon.

Cons

Our office has very little employee interaction. It seems like everyone just comes in to work, works, and goes home. It's very quiet and boring most of the time. Need more employee pick me ups and team building.

Pros

Until a substantial management change nearly 4 years ago, the company was exceptionally well run and the clients served beat a path to their former Cambridge, MA office by the droves.

Cons

As with any senior level shake ups, a lot of decent people were furloughed and some poor performers were able to hang on. Once Hickey goes, only the good Lord knows what will become of this once iconic company.
