Pros
I read a lot of the positive reviews here and honestly find them ludicrous. I think the company has gone as far as making people write fake reviews. No one with their head screwed on right enjoys working at C3. I consider surviving a year at this place one of my life's accomplishments. There are more important things in life than money avoid this place if you can. Starting with the pros: - Great compensation on par with most Tech companies - You will most likely trauma bond with coworkers and meet great people in the same terrible boat as you
Cons
Where do I start with the cons... Every negative review you have seen is true. Here are my cons: **Terrible leadership and management** Tom runs the company like Joffrey Baratheon from GOT and everything he says goes. He has groomed his executive team of Ex-Mckinsey consultants to be horrible people and leaders. I have seen them act unprofessionally and unethically so many times completely unchecked. The middle managers have absolutely no power and the ones who last are all just yes men. I have never seen a place that has so many people with the words manager, director, and VP in their titles but are all just powerless cogs in a machine run by Tom. **Poor product with a poor product-market fit**: Working with the platform is terrible and a lot of engineers complain about it all the time. The product barely works and takes a lot of work to get something very basic in front of customers. **Low Morale** The morale at C3 is low and it's so sad because great people are working there who have to deal with this archaic company every day. **Revolving door of talent** While C3 does have some great people it also struggles mightily to recruit and retain any talented individuals. This is due to the company's poor culture and reputation. Attrition is the worst I have seen, most people leave after a year. The company is also filled with former consultants who don't know much about software or building a product. **No Flexibility** You barely get any PTO and have almost no flexibility. You must be in the office 5 days and week and taking time to do anything important during the week feels like a sin that will get you fired ** Culture driven by fear** I've already hit on this but everything and everyone at C3 runs on fear. Fear of Tom, fear of getting fired. It is terrible for your mental health.
