CDW reviews

Pay is below market. Not competitive pay. Favoritism and nepotism structure. Racism with micro and macro aggressions. Employees are pushed to self fire or resign through social pressure and workload from management. Burning out coworkers so that new hires are brought in and given better opportunities off the bat to keep them around.

* Low 401k match * No equity compensation below the Director level * Medical insurance premiums are high. * PTO is low for tech but negotiable up to a max of 4 weeks. * Can only accrue up to 1x annual PTO amount. * Internal systems are still being modernized (example: implementing Salesforce), and the process is slow, painful, and lacks adequate change management. * Pushing return to office at the corporate level despite nearly 3 years of successful remote work * Typical big corporate issues: many silos, bureaucratic approval processes, confusing org structure, etc. * Focus on career development and training ends at the manager level. * Senior leaders in technical functions are almost exclusively white men over 40. * DEI efforts are all PR. No public stance on DEI related legislation, no commitment to pay transparency, parental leave policy distinguishes between “primary caregiver” and “non-primary caregiver”, etc. * Informal raise caps result in external hires being paid more than internal promotions. * Coworker success (HR) advocates solely for the company’s interests. * While firings are rare, restructuring to eliminate positions and lay off the impacted coworkers is not.
