Pros

Everywhere you go there will be good people who are stuck in a bad job and don’t know any better. There were some good people here. Also, if you need a job to feed your family or need visa sponsorship to stay in the country, then this is a good last resort option.

Cons

This is the worst place I have ever worked and it’s not close because they were inferior from every angle. CEO would send self-centered, rambling, poorly-punctuated, company-wide emails that should of stayed in the diary. Compensation is well below market (20-30%). Culture was austere and cold. Environment and Facilities felt like East Berlin. Growth did not occur during my time (from what I gathered things were not going as planned). Leadership was full of copycats with no creativity or vision. Perks were non-existent. Oh, and they also asked all salaried employees to work weekends in retail stores during the holidays, obviously for no additional compensation. This company claims to be a start up, but offers no equity therefore there is no upside.

Based on your review, it appears that you were not an employee of CSC Generation, but of DirectBuy (one of our investments). That being said, we are sorry that you did not enjoy your short time at DirectBuy.

Pros

There are smart and driven people at this company. You can learn a lot in a short period of time. Working hours are long but flexible.

Cons

The value prop is non-existent. Culture is horrendous. People are miserable working insanely long hours, in jobs they aren't qualified for, with pay 15-20% under market. They will try to sell you with the upside of equity, but there is no acquisition or IPO in site. Every department is under staffed. Worst of all as others have mentioned you're expected to feel lucky and grateful for the job. Any scent they get that you're not "dedicated" and they'll fire you.

2021 update: saved nearly 2,000 jobs, $500M+ in revenue headed to $1B. Our next capital raise will be at a valuation in excess of $1B. An employee who joined around the time this review was written could sell their equity for a significant sum today. -- Since our founding in 2016, CSC Generation's consolidated revenues has rapidly grown, with 2019 revenues well in excess of $200M. At high growth companies, it's not uncommon for many departments to be understaffed - we just haven't been in business long enough to have perfected our team and bench. Also, you are correct that an exit/IPO is not in our "near future." However, if you look at recent tech IPOs, you will see that the average company was founded over a decade ago. In the vast majority of these cases, early team members at these companies have done well financially despite the long path to liquidity.

Nice break room, healthy snacks

Too much drama with Directors, sales managers and team leads.

Thank you for your feedback. As an employee of our subsidiary, DirectBuy, your review would have been more appropriate under that company profile; CSC Generation does not have an inside sales team. Please feel free to reach out if you would like to discuss your concerns in detail.
