Pros

CDI has many good people and several divisions that if done right could offer good careers. However, the new leadership makes decisions without understanding the business, mostly based upon on the decades old EDS model. The CEO's only job outside of EDS at Invensys lasted less than 2 years but she relocated the 100 year old Foxboro Massachusetts company HQ to her home in Texas. That is how she makes decisions. In her first year she has massively restructured CDI with her old EDS friends and apparently has no intention of moving to Philadelphia so it looks like an encore. If we are lucky she will again not make 2 years.

Cons

You pay considerably more for your benefits package than CDI does. There is now zero trust at the company thanks to the new leadership, style and lack of visibility at HQ. She cleaned house but mostly put in her old colleagues who haven't developed any trust and the consensus is that they will all be gone with her within the year. That could be a blessing.

Pros

If a person wishes to be a 1099 employee, where they work for the duration of a contract or effort, and then may or may not be picked up for additional work, this may be worthy of consideration.

Cons

Seem to eat up companies, and spit out employees of those companies on the other side, leaving the impression they have more concern for sharholders and the bottom dollar then those who help generate that revenue. The benefits are close to non-existent, although this seems to be common place nowdays. Company sends out mandates with little explanation as to how to implement them, and with little or zero notice. Often do not understand the operational nuances of the markets which some of thier acquired companies operate in. Valued employees whom have had significant contributions to the Company's bottom line are laid off or forced to use vacation time immediately when in a lull or transition between projects/accounts. The most discouraging environment I have ever worked in.
