Pros

I've been a part of a lot of companies in my career and this one is just different. Maybe it's because of the Differentiation (HR) department that is OBSESSED with making the lives and experience of employees better every day; or maybe it's the companies mission of helping entrepreneurs achieve their dream. But the fact is, you can't truly appreciate how special this place is until you've worked somewhere else. From CEO all the way down, people are put first. Remote is awesome! The company is making a big move towards diversity and inclusion that is so cool to see! The list goes on and on!

Cons

I guess it depends on what you want out of a workplace. If you want a simple, mundane job, where you just go quietly about your business and don't get much feedback, that would be a con for sure. Clear is Kind is a core value that can be tough to reckon with if you're not willing to be challenged to grow. Also, if you're obsessed with money first, this place probably isn't for you. It's ethos is people first for sure. Growing pains are real, but it's to be expected in this environment.

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.
