Pros

My team was very organized and close knit and talented. We were focused on government projects.

Cons

I was told there would be unlimited PTO, but then halfway through the year they said it was limited to less than 2.5 weeks. I had no idea and had taken a few sick days and they counted at PTO so I was unable to properly organize any future time off and it led me to getting really burnt out. They could work on their communication around that better.

Pros

CDW is a solid contracting company. Any time I had an issue or concern they responded quickly and provided clear paths to resolution. Communication was consistent and they handled problems professionally without leaving you to figure things out on your own.

Cons

As with most contract roles, there is limited visibility into long-term opportunities beyond the assigned engagement.
