Pros

Salary, Leaves, Team Outing, that's all

Cons

I am not talking about the whole CDM Smith; CDM Smith, in general, is a very good company. I am talking about the GDO Data Scientist team. The team environment is toxic because of two stupid people. Because of them, no one wants to stay on the team. Everyone leaves after a certain point. They just support each other and do not let a third person grow just because they are good friends or whatever they are. They are the worst people I have met in my life. Only those two can survive together because both of them are toxic.

Pros

Great place to work. Flexibility, work from home options available. Tons of opportunities across multiple disciplines. Work life balance is great. The people are awesome.

Cons

Pay is unfortunately on the really low end of the industry. A lot of turnover because people leave in order to get a better salary due to the low pay. I also don’t like that your manager (RTL) is also a manager for 20-30 people, and you are all under one large group instead of various teams. The matrix system is a bit odd to me.
