Pros
There have been a number of reviews this year which prompted some discussion among my colleagues and several of us said that we would write some fair reviews to better reflect the company. C1 is not perfect but we are definitely not what some of these bad reviews paint us to be. I felt that there were some unfair reviews that were perhaps written by former colleagues who might have been angry or bitter at the time and were using rather sarcastic language to paint a poor and inaccurate picture of C1. I work with great team members who are always willing to assist each other. C1 also allows for flexibility in terms of work hours; team members ask to work from home when the need arises and I have never seen a manager reject a work from home request. If you can be relied on to get the work done on time and be responsive to emails when working remotely, the flexibility is all yours. Of course this does not mean you can work from home for 2 weeks for no good reason, you are expected to make fair and mature judgments. Fridays are standard work from home days for everyone. Project work is often varied and stimulating and I feel that I am constantly learning and growing.
Cons
Upper management are often very busy and it is hard to reach them at times. This time crunch would lead to emails to be read too quickly and can/have led to misunderstandings but these are often resolved later when the management team has the time to digest the information
