Pros

C1 is a great place to work - growing business, interesting/high visibility work, diversity in projects/clients, career development opportunities and excellent benefits. Other pros include learning from smart people, collaborative culture and importantly making a difference in the lives of patients. Management has an "open door" policy and have seen them repeatedly soliciting (and implementing) employee feedback.

Cons

Yes, consulting (or any service business for that matter) can be demanding at times, but I must say that management places a high priority on employee morale and work/life balance. In fact, they have reporting to assess/monitor capacity weekly and makes change as business need and capacity limitations dictate. Often times in a highly specialized field as analytics and strategy, it can be hard to find top-notch talent and sometimes resources can lag (not unique to C1), but this is not a result of willingness to invest as management has repeatedly shown commitment to appropriately resourcing the business.

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
