Pros
C-4 Analytics has a lot of potential. A young and mostly motivated workforce, a good foothold in their main vertical and the agility that comes from being on the small side. There are pockets of good talent within the company, and teams can rally together to respond quickly even when clients make unreasonable demands. Occasionally subsidized lunch and breakfast.
Cons
Unfortunately, the company has an extremely high turnover, and there are many reasons for this. Senior management prefers to police rather than manage employees. There is a culture of paranoia at the top that prevents them from trusting employees, which leads to policies that make work-life balance a challenge. Compensation is very low for the location and industry, which is why C-4 Analytics is mostly staffed with recent college graduates now. Their benefits package is well under industry standards, and only valuable for single employees. Recognition and promotions are tied to personal whim rather than actual performance. You can be promoted in three months if you're liked, regardless of your competence, leading to overinflated egos and delusions of ability (see the Peter Principle), while capable employees with more than a year of experience -and that is old by C-4 standards- can be left ignored and undervalued. Standards have dropped rapidly following a long list of veteran employees leaving the company. When that happens, some of them are subjected to interrogation, harassment, and disparagement. Management will go as far as trying to stop other organizations from hiring you. Despite all of the feedback solicited by and provided to management, changes are slow and shallow. The main issues are never addressed, and eventually people seek other opportunities. As shocking as it may be, management thinks the best strategy to solve this is to write or commission reviews on Glassdoor to pretend that the company is better than it actually is. Expect a five-star review to be posted shortly after this one, and it will be easy to figure out which one is the most honest.
