Pros
1. People: The people of C3 Energy are driven, passionate, and fun to work with. They come from a variety of backgrounds-- engineering, sales, politics, consulting-- and the diversity of perspectives enhances the quality of our product and makes team discussions far more interesting. You'll learn a lot from your co-workers on a daily basis. 2. Engaging work: C3 Energy is at the cutting edge of smart grid analytics, making work around business and product development, strategy, and marketing particularly interesting. On a given day, work will include talking to industry experts, brainstorming with clients, discussing options with the engineering team. This is a great environment for someone who wants to be challenged and deeply engaged in the work they do. 3. Fun environment: C3 Energy is a fun place to work. From learning to play accordion during happy hour, to weekly pick up soccer, to general banter around the office, we have a good time. Coming in on Monday morning, there are people I look forward to seeing so we can swap stories about the weekend.
Cons
Work / life balance: When you give an exciting question with no "right" answer to a lot of driven, smart people, they'll keep working at it, debating it, refining it for as long as they can. There are many early morning and longs nights at C3 as a result.
