Pros

Over one year of experience with CDM Smith has provided me with hands-on exposure to managing proposals from start to finish. I have developed expertise in design, format, tone, and branding of proposals as per the voice of the firm. There are wonderful opportunities for working with stakeholders within the firm with room for professional growth and passion through persistence and consistency. Hard work is valued and rewarded, making it worth it to build a career here. CDM Smith is also one of the highly rated engineering firms, making it even more appealing as an employer.

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.
