Pros

Working at CTC has been nothing short of a life-enhancing experience. Everything including the people, the culture, and the leadership is incredible. There are literally leaders everywhere you look, whether you're talking about the founding partners, the Sr. employees, or even the newest employees, everybody does their part in ensuring that CTC is always performing at its highest collective ability. There are so many opportunities to learn, grow, and achieve your dreams here and you will never feel anything short of 100% support from every single employee.

Cons

Everybody here is expected to be accountable. Whether you just started or are a founding partner, you are expected to take responsibility immediately and be accountable for your own growth and CTC's success. If you don't like accountability, autonomy, and want to fly under the radar then this is probably not your best bet.

Pros

You will learn quick what to avoid in future companies and employees. Every role after will be a breath of fresh air.

Cons

CTC is a chaotic, ego-driven mess, churning and burning employees and clients. CEO Taylor Holiday is a wannabe Twitter influencer playing entrepreneur, surrounded by an inner-circle of unqualified buddies. Strategy changes constantly, positive reviews are fabricated, departments are dissolved on a whim, and layoffs are routine. CTC demands unrealistic output from overworked employees, all while preaching a fake culture of “transparency” and “work-life balance.” Transparency means hyped-up financial updates paired with weird parties and alcohol, followed immediately by entire department layoffs. Work-life balance means 60 hour work weeks with a level of micromanagement I haven’t seen before or since. Not convinced yet? Welcome to leadership meetings where no one has a plan and everyone is too afraid to say the truth. Staying close to the in-crowd matters more than results or performance because it might just keep you your job. I’ll never forget CTC’s empty promises about development and achieving dreams, all while exploiting, discarding, and abusing everyone in sight. If you value your career, mental health, or basic respect, stay far away.
