Great People, Disconnected Management - Recensione dipendente - Environmental Engineer V presso CDM Smith

There was a major leadership shift in the Jacksonville, FL office which has put a chill on that office's culture. Those folks seem to always work late and under stressful conditions. If you talk to upper management elsewhere in the company, they will quietly warn you about working with that office. I strongly recommend staying clear of it. It's a major pain-in-the-neck to get authorized to go to an industry conference, even if presenting. They usually cut back on the days you request, and then they ask you to enthusiastically recruit others to the firm. Last year's raises were pretty mediocre across the board. They gave everyone a bonus the year before as a publicity stunt for recruiting purposes. It seems they're recouping those costs this year.
