Pros

Fast growth. Leadership constantly engaging in M&A to expand the company exponentially. Plenty of work and opportunities.

Cons

Multiple companies all colliding into one central melting pot, causing tons of culture shock and stress. Mixed workflows and all sorts of departments in a silo. Leadership shows no signs of slowing the mergers to let culture meld together. All they care about is growing their own pockets. Company has just realized that diversity matters and it only took mass riots for leadership to think about it. Now hiring people of color is becoming a priority to the point it's now over-prioritized.

Not the old CDI anymore

Pros

Very smart colleagues who are always willing to help Parntersgips with many vendors Finally more than 10 days vacation (you won't be able to enjoy it anyway because you're expected to always be available( WFH No micromanagemnet

Cons

Interesting that there are so many new reviews here, it looks almost like someone's manage asked them to leave positive feedback... also looks like all the positive reviews are from sales and leadership. Of course they are happy... they are the ones making money and delegating their hobs to everyone else. Meanwhile the rest of us are miserable. Company acquired four companies in less than a year and pushing out legacy employees left and right... I'm talking people who have given 15-20+ years of service to CDI. No loyalty at all. Yet some members of the "executive leadership" team still have jobs after harassing a female employee (who was teminated after reporting it)... same "leader" bullied an employee for taking paternity leave when his first child was born. That employee was so angry he quit. Paycuts and layoffs have resulted in more work for less money. No work life balance and you are expected to be available 24/7, on weekends, on vacation. Benefits are horrible and expensive, no 401k

Pros

If you're looking for technical expertise, then this is certainly the place for you. My coworkers are some of the brightest in the industry, and we're all striving to maintain excellence in every branch of technology. Everyone has such a passion for the industry, which is evidenced by the numbers of group chats surrounding emergent technologies and technical enablement. Joining this team was the best decision I have ever made for my career.

Cons

Admittedly, there is a lot of process involved when it comes to sales and delivery alike. I often find myself having conversations about solutions with so many different people that at some point I think that I could have had a solution in place in the time that we spent talking about our options.
