Pros

Collaborative and very smart co-workers who I truly enjoy working with, exciting work, an environment where I have many opportunities to learn, a lot of training for new employees, promotion is based on my own performance and not how long I have been here

Cons

Some clients are too demanding and this can lead to busy days. Can be difficult to learn how to manage a difficult client. Teambuilding activities are really fun but we only do it a couple times a year

Pros

Work from home friday, sometimes free food, smart coworkers

Cons

The most recent positive reviews feel awfully suspicious. I can understand why given how most of the reviews are negative. But look over the past years reviews and you can see the same theme over and over again with the positive reviews. Growing pains, working on improving processes, etc. Uh, ok. You don't get 5 years to do this. I haven't worked at C1 since 2011 but I bet without a doubt that nothing has changed. And why should they? Plenty of PhDs would love the opportunity to snag a job starting out at 120k...until they realize what the culture is really like and how disposable they are for the owners.

Pros

Take the negative reviews with a grain of salt--they are mostly a consequence of company size. Up until 6-12 months ago we were a "small" firm and it's uncomfortable to write a review as a happy current (or former) employee when everyone (in your branch) will know you wrote it. This leaves the most likely people to write reviews to be bitter, former employees. Given that we are now a mid-sized firm I would encourage employees (former and current) to give an honest review of the company. Pros: 1) Very intelligent coworkers 2) Competitive salary and benefits 3) Great work-life balance (for consulting). Work from home Fridays, multiple holidays, managers are very lenient with employees needing to come late/leave early/leave for an hour or two for an appointment. It mostly depends on how reliable you are in terms of getting work done on time and not being someone overtly trying to take advantage of C1's leniency 4) No traveling Monday-Thursday nonsense (i.e. our firm does more than simply sell employees to a business for 6 months at a time) 5) Opportunity to work directly with high-level people (i.e. Directors, Partners--most of whom are open to suggestions on project approaches, design, etc.). Really, this shouldn't be understated: you can quickly get visibility with the owners of the firm. 6) The firm makes a real effort to get you on project types you request to work on

Cons

1) Partners have very different styles of managing projects--mostly due to their areas of expertise and personality types 2) Recent split in NJ/NY office seems likely to cause more complications than it fixes
