Pros

There are no pros to the Optum RX. It prices all drugs higher than what other insurances cover at and has numerous other problems.

Cons

CDM Smith uses Optum RX for prescriptions. You have no coverage for the first $2,000. Additionally, Optum RX reports very common drugs as out of stock and unavailable. Optum RX is really bad overall. On their webpage they list pharmacies and drug prices as in-network that are not actually in network (e.g., Walgreens).

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.
