Pros

- Best pay-to-work ratio for new grad SWE's in the entire industry. - Out of all the new grad programs at C1, we get the most perks (fun events, free merch, etc.); it's very evident the company cares for and values us. - Pay for your AWS certification (but it's also mandatory). - You can get promoted in ~1 year as a new grad.

Cons

- Annoying in-office attendance policy. They actually check how many times you swipe into the office over 13 week periods. - Work is boring and slow. - Pay doesn't scale well as you move up.

Pros

Environment was good, food was decent, free food at my location (dont know if it was allowed but it was good)

Cons

The rittenhouse location is managed by a tyrant, he is an incredibly toxic man and upper management make it the most unbearable place to work. Andy will ask you to come in on days you're not scheduled, and then hold it over your head if you don't. Talks about employees behind their backs constantly. No respect enforced employees talked about each other all the time and there was even name calling in meetings, management did nothing. Worst place I've ever worked in my life frankly and affected my mental health in the worst way. Glad to be out out of there. The place itself has potential but the management at the Rittenhouse branch and above them is absolutely terrible in every regard.
