Pros

Dev team were some of the best people I've ever worked with.

Cons

Got bought by CDW, who made it a million times more difficult to do the job. Corporate restrictions kill all creativity. Systems make progress impossible. Upper management does not understand or value engineers. Help navigating the systems is unavailable.

Pros

You have the ability to sell full stack solutions, services and software.

Cons

I have worked at CDW for 10yrs and every single year they have changed the comp plan in a way that makes it harder for sellers to make money (constantly moving the goal post). Prior to 2020 CDW had little to no lay offs now it is happening every six months. They say the reasons is to reduce cost and improve efficiencies BUT as a company our sales continue to grow along with the C-levels pockets.
