When you are in a smaller office, there tends to be limited projects to work on that aligns with your interests.

We are happy to have you on the CDM Smith team, and will keep your feedback in mind when making decisions to keep us as a top-choice employer. Thank you for your review!
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.
