Pros

Some of the people you work with are enjoyable Great paying

Cons

Long hours Overworked Never get out on time Upper management doesn't care Understaffed and instead of getting people hired they just work you to death Literally will never have a life outside of work. No time for it Sometimes you work 17+ hours because they never send anyone to relive you Love to play favorite

Pros

CC Uses cutting-edge Technologies, which is good experience for resume building; many of the Teams are collaborative; interesting work and you can believe in company goals.

Cons

Director and Manager level mgmt at corporate here do not provide guidance on projects. There is a lot of turnover on data projects because new employees are thrown into the deep end and then just blamed if results are not as expected. CC really needs more hands-on project oversight. There are also behavioral and anger issues with a couple long-time ppl as well, and this is both exhausting and (sometimes) outright humiliating. They need to treat new people better.
