      Pros

      Great mentoring from your managers and peers. The CDM Smith team strives to deliver high quality work to their Clients. You get to work in an environment in which people truly love what they do and take great pride in it.

      Cons

      The company is at an awkward growing point where it is figuring out how to grow the business but also serving the people who do the meat of the work. We are trying, but it is a lot of growing pains right now.

      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.
