Pros

Treats everyone like like a real person and not just a number on an accounting sheet. Great benefit and severance packages. Can move from team to team fairly easily. Tries to always do the right thing. Amazing WLB.

Cons

Stacked ranking but that is used to only control labor costs. Getting below strong doesn't result in getting fired. Run by humans so it is not perfect.

Pros

It's a nice place with tons of perks, and I loved them. WLB, is said a lot, but if you take advantage of it your rating will drop and stack ranking will bite you.

Cons

You have to stack rank your staff. So as a manager, you need to always hire someone that will be cut. So unlike other places, if you do a good job as a manager all of your staff should be average or above, or issues dealt with ASAP. At C1, you need those people to stick around till December, every year, that way you have someone at below average. And if you don't, then you are tagged as below average for having an above average team.
