The hierarchy of consulting positions at CDS consists of five main levels:

• Partners
• Managers
• Associates
• Consultants
• Analysts

Hierarchal positions at CDS are determined based on consultants’ profile, academic background, experience, and professional performance.

Through their involvement in client work from day one, CDS consultants obtain direct, on-the-job exposure in addition to receiving periodic training at CDS.

Consultants are continuously expected to upgrade their skills, increase their output, and take on added responsibilities, as they grow into more senior positions.

The mix of duties and responsibilities varies by seniority level: as consultants develop, they become more involved in the management of other consultants, in the management of projects, and eventually in the management of CDS.

CDS encourages entrepreneurship and ambition among its consulting staff.

All CDS team abide by the CDS Code of Ethics.
