      CDM Smith emphasizes employee development, offering training, mentorship, and opportunities for career advancement. They also have a strong commitment to work-life balance and employee satisfaction.

      Cons

      Like many engineering and consulting firms, high workloads and tight project deadlines can lead to stress and work-life balance challenges, particularly during peak project phases.

      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.
