      Pros

      Good compensation and benefits package Teamwork is usually very good Well established and recognized company

      Cons

      CDM is changing dramatically to expand and diversify work areas, leading to lack of focus. Some senior staff are only out for themselves, and will "'throw others under the bus" in order to get ahead. With the current economy, job security is a concern, as it is at just about every other similar firm.

      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.
