There is much better out there. Just ask about backlog of local projects at other firms while searching. - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso CDM Smith

Vantaggi

Benefits are amazing though expensive. Peers can be a pleasure to work with but backstabbing is prevalent. Trust no one.

Svantaggi

Leadership claims open door and willingness to communicate but nothing could be farther from the truth. Any communication is watered down and first communicated through officers who aren't chosen for the most sensible reasons or logical reasons. There is no open door. Question anything to learn the logic behind a decision and you will be labeled a troublemaker. I watched an old movie the other night, The Stepford Wives and as silly as it sounds, the essence reminded me of CDM. No wonder the innovation they claim is in theory only. I am so glad I found a firm that embraces innovation, practices integrity wit PMs who value teamwork.

Vantaggi

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

Svantaggi

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.
