Overall above-average environmental consulting firm to work for.

Geologist (Former Employee)

I worked at Camp Dresser McKee full-time for more than 10 years

ProsHard workers are generally recognized with occasional awards, good raises, and overall good salaries. In addition, career development is a big focus and highly encouraged. Annual appraisals are fair and taken very seriously. You are not just a number.

ConsTwo main disadvantages are:

1. Administrative people aside, there is a huge emphasis on keeping up billable time (as expected with many similar firms), so look out if you are charging any overhead. This is frowned upon and may cause you to get furloughed or even lose your job.

2. Despite generally good compensation, many non-exempt employees are frequently overworked and cannot charge appropriate hours on projects that are often under-budgeted. This is a common problem.

Advice to Senior ManagementEncourage those who want to stay on a technical/non-management track with good outside training.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
