C Space Employee Reviews about "smart people"

Pros

Lovely and very smart people! Great projects and lot of scope to learn new things.

Cons

Too much workload and not properly mapped teams.

Pros

Smart, fun people, and potential for doing work with a real impact for the client. Generally company does a good job of promoting from within. 'Cool' company culture and fun events to celebrate company successes.

Cons

Pay across the board is quite a bit below industry standards, but no one will tell you this. If you start with an inexperienced manager or a manager that is not a good fit, this can drastically influence the trajectory of your career at C Space. Sometimes younger employees are micro-managed in a way that isn't productive or helpful. Work-life balance can be extremely challenging unless you just don't care (or give up) on getting ahead. I was constantly told by my manager that one of my weaknesses was an inability to "say no" to superiors loading me up with more work, but the idea you constantly have to be turning down work that would get you looked at more favorably is a problem in my opinion.

Pros

Interesting work and smart people

Cons

Terrible culture and managers with poor training

Pros

C Space is famously known for its people. There are loads of smart, fun and hardworking people here, many of which will become your friends inside and outside of work. It’s a great company to learn a lot from—largely because you’re expected to do a TON but that’s a separate topic. You get experiences at c space that you wouldn’t get at other companies in such junior roles—client exposure, data read outs & traveling for work, to name a few. There also is a very fun culture when you’re in the office! Lots of fun events, social gatherings and overall fun in the office.

Cons

C Space hasn’t seemed to learn how to demonstrate that they “value” employees, since the same type of review has been happening since I started years ago. The pay is not good, yet they make you feel like you ARE being paid fairly & that you won’t get better pay elsewhere. Very false. I know this is somewhat out of their control due to Omnicom, but please figure it out. The work-life balance is awful. They tell you to “set boundaries”, but the culture is very much so “put we before me.” It can be frustrating when you express exhaustion & burn out, only to be told “push back on the work!” The roles themselves tend to come with a ton of different responsibilities, so it can be challenging to get it all done & not work long hours. I think the whole company could benefit from hiring PROPERLY to reduce burn out and therefore decrease turnover. So many people leave because they’re burnt out, which continues the brutal cycle of being understaffed and having to train new people. Perhaps one of the most difficult parts of the job were the all staff meetings, where the same 10 people were put on a pedestal, only to leave the remainder of the burnt out, exhausted employees annoyed. It felt like some folks in leadership wanted change, but others blatantly ignored the problems.

Pros

An incredible space and culture. There are truly smart and talented peoplelele at this company. There is magic that happens when those smart people can collaborate.

Cons

Management can talk down to you like you're dumb... and you really have to be well connected to move up at all in the organization. If you're not part of the in-crowd (who get hired by those within), then getting a raise or promotion involves begging, pleading, and Awful pay compared to what you could be making elsewhere.

Pros

Smart people who know what they are doing

Cons

They work people too hard for what they are paid

Pros

C Space is a company that is always evolving, growing, transforming the way we do business (and the way our clients do business) - and employees in all roles, at all levels, have a voice in shaping our future. You are surrounded by passionate, smart, caring people who help you learn and grow. It's the most inspiring, energizing place I've ever worked. We allow for people to feel ownership of the work, and our careers, and we have some fun along the way (and there is on-site lunchtime yoga and meditation for when we need some balance). :)

Cons

When we get resource-constrained (which happens during peaks of growth when we can't hire new talent fast enough), we can get grouchy and stretched. ;)

Pros

Good overall experience gained working here. One is constantly pushed to new limits, which is a tremendous way to hone on skills. Working with very smart people is also a bonus.

Cons

Overworked, underpaid. You have to get 'lucky' with where you are placed in the company, who you report to, etc. in order to get ahead. Would not recommend this place to anyone with an established career. This is solely a good place to start, which is evident by the above average turnover rate. Revolving door is how many would describe it. Low wages is the main reason the door is forever revolving.

Pros

You get to work with really smart and passionate people who are great to work with. A lot of agency environments are really cold or toxic, and I've never felt as supported and embraced as I have at C Space. The culture really lives their values, and celebrates awesome work. Its a really exciting time of transformation and growth in the company's history, which creates a lot of awesome opportunities for ambitious and talented employees who are able to embrace change and are excited about doing something bold and different. Senior leadership is also very invested in developing talent, and hiring/promoting from within.

Cons

Change is uncomfortable, and C Space is going through a lot of it right now. For long time employees that struggle with this new ambiguity and change, this is rocky period. As an introvert, entering the company and getting to know people was a little jarring. Expect a lot of extroverted personalities, and a LOT of icebreakers. Hot tip for new hires: Always have a "fun fact" in your back-pocket during the first few weeks so you aren't caught off-guard. Compensation could be better, especially for entry level roles - and I worry this inhibits our ability to attract top talent.
