"Good company, just limited in the diversity of their work"

"CDM Smith is a terrible engineering company to work for. It robs more senior staff by only paying them 60% of an overtime hour while billing the client the full amount (this is also age discrimination regardless of how their own attorneys want to spin it). One does not learn that until one is actually there because it is not stated anywhere in the offer letters. They are working to outsource engineering services to foreign countries to "save money" and increase company profits, but they don't bother to tell their U.S. clients that, some of whom are state departments of transportation and would have serious ethical and public safety issues with outsourcing. The foreign "engineers" are nowhere near the quality of U.S.-degreed engineers, and their work is much inferior and has had to be redone by U.S. employees. The company is extremely top-heavy with extremely high audited overhead rates (multiplier about 3.0 versus other competing firms at 2.6). The pay sucks for the average worker unless you are able to schmooze management to get ahead. The company management does not follow its own ethical standards. If these clowns offer you a job, run!"

"CDM Smith was a good company to work for before the merger."

"CDM Smith is going through a transition since merger of CDM Inc. and Wilbur Smith. Company has lost sight of its core values and the only thing that matters now is the bottom line. The company is no longer a good place for older workers."

"CDM Smith is a multi-national engineering consulting company employing over 5,000 people."
