Great people to work with, Corporate ideals are not based on employee needs and concerns. - Anonymous employee CDM Smith Employee Review

Lots of training and opportunities

Company structure can be confusing

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

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.
