Pros
Unbelievably great place to work! The work is interesting and important. ( who doesn’t want a better world by innovation?)The people are nice and helpful. The pay is good and IC is generous and based on shared goals. Benefits are strong and some are unique ($40k to buy a home, student loan pay off, boot camp, Las Vegas event). CTA wins multiple best place to work awards each year!
Cons
There is much to do- for an important mission. The pace of work is fast and not everyone can flourish at CTA even though the people who work there are incredibly nice and supportive. While the culture allows flexibility - and people dealing with serious personal challenges get some leniency, newer employees may not succeed if they don’t put in top effort or carry their weight, or if their attitude is negative. This is a high-performing workplace and every open position gets many applicants-the screening process for new hires is rigorous, but not perfect. Fit is important.
