Pros

Some people are good to work with, but they won’t stick around. Base pay is ok equity is terrible - look at stock performance.

Cons

Try sorting by negative reviews and look at how many recent ones there are - this place is surreal. The company is toxic in every sense of the word - the tech doesn’t work properly, there’s no freedom for innovation/creativity with your work - you have to follow strict templates because there is no trust in employees, office attendance records are checked and people are emailed with threats of termination or losing their bonuses if they don’t come in every day. Turnover is huge, and it’s an incredibly inefficient way to run a business, constantly promoting and then demoting people and firing them - shows poor judgement from the outset. The sales team struggles because of the products and the price tag, but they are blamed and spoken badly off after they are fired. This company is a sinking ship. Hilariously, C3 responds to various comments on here saying that people who write bad reviews either have an interest in shorting the stock, are “fraudulent”, or had underperformed and left the company, and are now “lashing out”. I can guarantee that I had many meetings with team heads trying to get me to stay (and I also sold all my stock before I left the company). They ensure benefits in the UK meet legal minimum requirements but are a total joke compared to other tech firms and public companies. You get paid statutory pay if you take a sick day (£20 a day), 20 days holiday, 4% pension contribution, and statutory parental leave pay (£156 a week). You will work long hours to fit around your colleague on the west coast.

Slow motion train wreck, Unethical AI

Pros

Some good people to work with, decent technical talent. Something resembling camaraderie, akin to being in the orchestra on the Titanic.

Cons

Probably one of the most amateur of software / consulting / whatever this is, companies I've ever experienced. Some highlights of why this is the case: - huge gap between what the marketing and sales says about the product Vs the reality. It's over complicated and full of bugs and legacy nonsense which is why they need smart people working 24/7 to do the most basic of things. - poor business model and executive decisions. It's taken 15 years of burning through cash and there is still little to no product market fit, and very much showing diseconomies of scale at this point. - internal busy work. Because of micromanagement and paranoia, insane amount of man hours are spent on internal status reporting and other non value ad fluff rather than focussing on customer needs. - total disrespect for staff, between not allowing for hybrid working because of Theranos levels of paranoia and control, people are fired left and right for no or unethical reasons, but just within the bounds of labor law. - Unethical, dishonest and gas lighting atmosphere. Certain senior execs border on workplace bullying as a means to motivate. Stay away, or be part of a future case study on how to run a business into the ground.
