Pros

If you're young and a new grad, the world is open to you. Seasoned professionals, don't expect much unless you are an engineer or play heavily into the politics of the organization. Dick Fox is a great leader.

Cons

CDM doesn't practice what it preaches. Not my employer of choice. Senior managers should follow published guidelines when it comes to promotions to titled positions or other employee rewards. There's too much politics at play. If you do a great job and have the qualifications, you should be promoted. Too many people in senior positions without required college degrees. This takes away from the professionals with degrees who are not promoted and left feeling disrespected and unimportant.

Pros

The organization fosters a positive work culture, is supported by a strong and inspiring leadership team, and offers a highly motivating environment. I’ve also had the privilege of working under one of the best managers one could ask for.

Cons

Due to the need for collaboration with our stakeholders in the US, there are occasions when our timelines in India may need to be adjusted slightly to accommodate time zone differences.
