Pros

Great place for young professionals and new grads who want to learn a great deal, work very long hours for some interesing clients. Firm CEO is incredible guy, wildly creative and bright. Fun culture they work hard to maintain. Several of their design team are abundantly talented and creative. They do really good work.

Cons

If you are mid or sr in your career, may not be the place for you. There is little ability to move or learn or do something new. See above comment about this being a great place to start your career and move on. Management does not know how to manage people. They are essentially a team of wildly bright creatives all going in different directions very fast and furiously while giving no true direction or management to the staff. If you are one of the younger ones, you better be capable and nimble and be able to figure your way on your own. Management titles are merely an indication of your salary - not your skills, experience or day to day tasks. Stay away from interactive. They are a bit of a mess. Good intentions, great ideas, not enough resources, time, or money. They flounder and as they continue to push more into digital space I suspect it will get harder. They keep hiring consultants to tell them how to run their business and brand themselves (which is amusing since that is what their clients hire them for). Worst place to be in this company is in interactive. You do not want to be a PM who does it all (from PM, to IA, SA, QA, etc.) or a developer. From where I sat they had the worst jobs by far - even if doing cool stuff (or trying to).

Pros

Many great people, an enormous amount of talent.

Cons

I understand this have changed in the past few years, but my tenure with C&C was marred by a failure to invest in the needs of doing good digital work. A failure to staff in appropriate areas, fundamentally different from those of the traditional media space in which they had become quite masterful, and a failure to listen to the leadership that attempted to grow the business in that area. In short, a recipe for frustration and what might have led to failure. If they have truly found their way now I couldn't be more happy for their success - it was never a failure of heart, but of trust. They absolutely deserve all the success they earn.

Pros

Overall, the staff are great, very talented group. Busy work environment but takes time to have fun too with company wide tournaments. Laid back environment from the point that you can dress casual, bring your dog to the office every now and then, and breakfast is served every Friday. Good/Bad - There is process and structure to keep things moving but the process is ridiculously long, particularly with creative. Very frustrating for other departments.

Cons

There is no flexibility to work from home which has caused a number of good employees to leave. This leaves the staff feeling like they aren't trusted to get their work done even though most employees put in 10 hour days. Also, it is very difficult to get promoted. Management doesn't like to promote one person in a department in fear of upsetting another person in the department, your hard work is irrelevant.
