Pros
There are a lot of good things about C-4. At some agencies you get exposure only to small components of that company does. Not here. Here you get real life experience. The team is pretty awesome. Everyone is very focused and all the newbies and mid level teams are awesome and smart. The atmosphere is pretty laid back and fun, but serious too. It’s hard to explain. What’s cool about working here is you actually get to handle your own clients and roll with the strategy. There’s a real camaraderie here, a sense of doing everything together. If you need help, it’s here. If what you are doing is working, you don’t have to answer to anyone. If you come up with a great idea, it will get implemented.
Cons
A bunch of the bad reviews complain about pay/benefits, work & life balance and the CEOs. I think the benefits are pretty good and I wouldn’t say I’m underpaid. What I will say is there’s a lot of work. Money isn’t everything, but for some it is. I think the work and life balance is off. Here’s another thing, if you are working your butt off and you get in trouble for making a small mistake, it makes you feel bad and under-appreciated. But you have to be able to suck it up and realize you made a mistake. There are three bad reviews that are very similar and call out the CEOs and say they are greedy and brag about their cars. Anyone with half a brain can see they are written by the same person and are just personal attacks. Obviously a defense mechanism of someone who couldn’t deal with being fired.
