Pros

Cerium is a great place to get your foot in the door if you are just starting out in the Technology industry. They offer some really great learning opportunities. Based in the PNW is a great plus.

Cons

Unfortunately Cerium has a pretty toxic culture and environment that starts at the top. Not a work from home company - you aren't productive unless you're in the office. It has become a very micromanaged work place with the wrong people in management positions. "Work Life Balance" is preached a lot but not practiced in any way. It also has a very "boys club" feel about it.

Pros

Cerium is a great spot for those that are looking to continually push and challenge themselves to grow and develop. In my personal experience, I was consistently provided with new challenges and opportunities for growth over my 4 years within the organization. When I was first hired I started out in an entry level HR role, and within 2.5 years I was given the opportunity to manage a team of employees. In addition to growth and development, Cerium offers the chance to work with a great group of people. In my 4 years working for the organization, I had the opportunity to collaborate with an incredible group of skilled, intelligent, and overall wonderful employees. The ability to learn from other employees with decades of work experience is a major pro to working at Cerium.

Cons

Employees are expected to contribute to the overall success of the organization. Individuals that are not looking to work hard, collaborate with others, and develop/grow are not a good fit within this organization. The work can be challenging, but also very rewarding. There is also some tribal knowledge within the company, so continuing to work towards breaking down silos and creating more formal processes in documenting internal processes and procedures is an emphasis across departments.

Pros

1. Heavy emphasis on coordinating teams across multiple departments and levels of the company. 2. High visibility of management throughout the organization and ease of access to them and decision making. 3. Strong emphasis in ongoing training and career development. 4. Good use of communication technology within the company, though not as much on the accounting/finance side.

Cons

Some work was still needed on breaking down some of the "silos" in the company and it was certainly easier to do cross-functional work (e.g. accounting to engineering) if you had at least a few years in the company to establish those relationships and learn more of your counterparts job functions.
