Pros

Fun culture, good snacks and generous PTO

Cons

Absolutely zero transparency. One minute everything is great and the next half the company is being laid off with very little reasoning. To do something like this right around the holidays just isn’t right. There seems to be a lack of concern for their employees well being, they preach about dreams but when it really comes down to it all they really care about is themselves. Yes the vacation is great and there’s cool people but people want to feel valued and that’s not something you will feel there (maybe from a couple people but surely not the majority).

We appreciate your feedback and especially candor on our transparency. 2019 was undoubtedly a learning year for CTC and with that comes change. Your experience through our change was turbulent at best, trust when I say that is far from what we strive for. We aim for transparency at company wide meetings and financial responsibilities should have been clearly connected to what that meant for our employees. Our hope — thanks to responses like yours — is to never mislead where we are and where we’re going again.

Pros

Some cool creative employees Good PTO, if you can use it. Always too much work to take PTO

Cons

- Zero work life balance (massively overworked) - Broken promises - Leadership offers to help but is quick to point the finger - Not every idea leadership comes up with is a good idea - Low pay for "junior" employees - No team support when wanting to take PTO - Bonus structure is designed for top employees, not lower level staff - Personal goals are unobtainable - Told to write good reviews - Too many leaders with no one leading - Hiring process is too long - Looks shiny and cool from the outside, but it's not that at all
