Vantaggi

- Good starting company for engineers - Some projects can be interesting - Many smart people

Svantaggi

- EXTREMELY poor salary. I always thought this salary is the norm across the environmental engineering industry but realized I’ve been so wrong after switching companies. CDM really needs to pay their engineers better!!! - Pressure to maintain a specific utilization rate. I understand it’s part of the business but there is too much pressure surrounding that and it gets discussed practically every week. - Mentorship definitely needs improvement

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.
