Hello. My name is Daryl Shepard and I am the principal communications specialist at CDM Smith. I am responsible for maintaining our digital brand presence, including our corporate website and social media. I wish to thank those that create our corporate page and have provided updates!
I would like to recommend some changes to our corporate wikipedia page for clarity and accuracy. Please let me know who can help me, how this might be done or if you have any questions or concerns. Thanks!
Since its founding in 1947, CDM Smith has been a leading consulting firm in the field of water and wastewater. Over the years, the firm has expanded its offerings to become a full-service engineering and construction firm. Today, the company boasts 5,000-plus employees in more than 125 offices worldwide.
For 70 years, the company has provided innovative and sustainable solutions combined with responsive, professional service to its clients. Worldwide, CDM Smith delivers a full range of services and integrated approaches that satisfy client needs for progressive and adaptive master planning, asset management, condition assessment and rehabilitation, hydraulic evaluations, design, consulting, program management and construction management to deliver new conveyance systems or upgrade existing ones.
In September 1944, after serving for 15 years as the professor in charge of Sanitary Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Dr. Thomas R. Camp elected to devote his energy to private engineering practice. Less than three years later, in January 1947, Camp joined forces with Herman G. Dresser and Jack E. McKee to form Camp Dresser & McKee (CDM). Fast forward to 2012, Wilbur Smith Associates merged with CDM to form CDM Smith Inc. The merger enhanced the company’s global capability in transportation engineering. The growth would have been unimaginable in the early days of the company in 1947 when it had a staff of seven at its Boston office.
Another hallmark of the company has been its research and development (R&D) program that feeds its delivery of technical excellence, drives innovation, and helps develop the next generation of thought leaders, ensuring continued industry leadership in delivering cutting-edge solutions for its clients. The company has leveraged its R&D investments to nurture strategic partnerships with clients and research institutions, and to participate in tailored collaborations. (reference: [1]
In June 2017, CDM Smith reached agreements with the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and the World Bank Group (WBG) for self-reported improper business activities conducted by a few individuals in the firm’s India and Vietnam operations. The company self-discovered and self-reported potential infractions to DOJ and the World Bank, and DOJ declined to prosecute CDM Smith for corruption. Following an investigation into the disclosed business practices, CDM Smith agreed to disgorge $4.03 million and DOJ has declined to take further action against CDM Smith. [2] [3]

The page current as Sep 26 2017 is a complete mess filled with minutiae regarding investigations into business practices in India. I am not sure if this has been followed up on via the Edit Request suggestion made to the CDM Smith PR employee above, but I personally think that the version dated July 30, 2017 is a much clearer article with all of the pertinent information (e.g. a brief description of the fraud/bribery investigation and conclusions, without (poorly written) deep dive into the minutiae that is currently posted. I am posting this on the talk page to see if anyone is following this discussion, but barring any objections, I propose to roll-back the edits to the 7/30/2017 version. I haven't read the CDMSmith employee's requests in detail, so I do not know how much this overlaps with what they are requesting, but I came to this conclusion not from this Talk page, but by digging through the article history to see if I could suss out where the extraneous (IMO) text first appeared, and it is from Aug 15, 2017. Furthermore one of the requests I did see corresponded to the revenue published in the info box. While there is a citation for this revenue figure, the source is non-existent and listed simply as 'Gale' with a broken URL. Seems dubious. Edw128 ( talk) 21:36, 26 September 2017 (UTC)

Please update the second sentence in the intro to reflect 2018 and 2019 data:
The employee-owned company is currently ranked 23nd on Engineering News-Record's 2019 Top 500 Design Firms list and 16th on their 2018 Top 200 Environmental Firms list.
