I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at CDM Smith (Kansas City, MO) in July 2012
Interview
Started with a phone interview with the HR rep located at Cambridge. HR was very helpful and scheduled an interview inside the week. At the KC office, the interview consisted of a 1:1 with the Principal and a combined 1:3 interview with the other folks you would work with. Very helpful in providing insight into what exactly the job would entail. Discussed experience and on- hand project skills. Also provided info on the kinds of projects the office works with on a regular basis. This was followed by questions about experience with wastewater treatment and design experience.

Question 1
What are your goals 5 years from now ? Do you prefer team based work or individual minded exercises?
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at CDM Smith (Vancouver, BC) in Mar 2024
Interview
It was the initial HR round. The interviewer was friendly and it went well but didn’t receive any response or reasoning behind not being taken ahead. The process was prompt though. I will reapply to the company sometime.
First contacted by a recruiter, then met with the team. One hour of multiple people popping in an out. Generic interview questions were asked. I was notified I did not get the position.
