Pros
I have worked at Coalition longer than anyone else (outside of its founder and CEO). From that standpoint, I can say there are a number of specific pros to working at CT- 1. Very little, if any, tolerance for politics or backbiting. People show up to do work, and have to be able to work well together or they're gone. 2. Very clear objectives for each person and each team. No ambiguity as to what's expected of you, or what standard you're being measured by. The KPI system makes how well you're performing very clear. 3. Very client focused. There isn't any juggling about who we're trying to make successful. The company clearly believes that if our services help a client succeed, we're succeeding. This shows through in our company structure- one of the smallest teams is the 'sales' team and the largest teams are production and project management. 4. Great global team. I hate that some of the ignorant, xenophobic reviewers here have attacked this aspect of the company. We have a fantastic team of remote, global personnel. They work harder than our US team, voluntarily, pass rigorous skills tests, and are paid well over their regions market rates. Some are paid comparably to their US counterparts. 5. Great growth. The company has grown year over year over year over year (and so on), without outside funding, dramatic changes in approach, etc.
Cons
1. Agency life is hard- there is always lots of work to do and since we're always growing, there is always a challenge in finding a balanced pace of work. 2. KPIs can be unforgiving. Being measured objectively cuts both ways. If you don't like frank, accurate reviews of your performance, this may not be the place for you. 3. Remote team members can get isolated. While CT puts a lot of effort into the global team and culture, its easy to be isolated or feel disconnected from the company culture.
