      Pros

      Great team of skilled people, great support internationally with technical / problem solving focus. Great sales resources. Great technical resources.

      Cons

      In Australia things are likely still a year or two away from stabilising after the take over. Currently lacking a unified vision and suffering from protectionism in upper ranks in an unstable market and recent takeover of an Aussie entity. CDM is improving in but still lacking in international management cohesion.

      Pros

      Flexible hybrid schedule is very nice and starting salary is high for early career engineers.

      Cons

      The main people running the company are not engineers and you can tell. They are all focused on utilization with rates often set at 97% or higher. This had led to my supervisor asking/telling me to not charge company required trainings. As an early engineer it really feels like they don't want to invest in me and only care about their bottom line. If you are an early career structural engineer you will also not get any meaningful work until you've been with the company for at least 5 years. The senior engineers do not trust you and will only give you grunt work.
