Pros

Remote work policy is a good benefit that helps for work-life balance. The team is very flexible in allowing to work from different places. Individual people are very nice. I had great conversations with people in the company and they are good people.

Cons

The organization feels increasingly beholden to stockholder interests, which has led to frequent staff reductions and layoffs. This shift toward prioritizing short-term financial metrics has impacted long-term employee security. There is a noticeable trend toward outsourcing and a heavy reliance on H-1B visas for technical roles. This strategy often results in a loss of institutional knowledge and can create friction for remaining domestic staff. The constant threat of restructuring has created a culture where management often appears to be "running scared." Instead of focusing on innovation or team development, some leaders seem more preoccupied with job preservation. This leads to a reactive management style rather than a proactive or supportive one.

Pros

Health insurance, education, and internal training opportunities are all excellent.

Cons

CDW has its hands in so many pies it can be extremly difficult to coordinate efforts across departments. Many departments are only connected by the sales teams, who often lack enough knowlege in the technical details to maintain a technical discussion. The new EBO (Enterprise Business Operations) department is rapidly burning out old talent with it politics and "move quick and break things" attitude. They are standardizing Pay but it has resulted in some groups (with more politically Savvy leaders) achieving better pay, while others were left behind.
