Pros

After working with a variety of companies I was so excited to get to join C5 Insight. They had a good rep in the community and I had used their blogs many times to help get me solve issues. It was my dream job. And I can honestly say even though the face of C5 has changed while I have been there, it continues to be my dream job. I cannot imagine being anywhere else. Here are so more specific pros... *Variety of areas to focus on keeps things interesting and rarely boring *Servant mentality is true in serving clients, employees and colleagues *Consistent push with a safety net to acquire new skills and test the limits of our comfort zone with technology and business acumen while someone is always there to lend a helping hand or suggestion *Appreciation is given at times both when appreciation is usually given (end of a project or came up with a good solution) and unexpected times (random just wanted to say thank you notes and emails) *Open book management *Suggestions and constructive criticism is for the most part taken as intended by management and colleagues

Cons

C5 is not for the following people. Anyone who... *is overwhelmed by a variety of areas of focus *does not want to get involved with the business aspect of a company *does not want to help improve how things are done *wants to work on one thing every day for months on end *wants to know every step of the way without wanting to help draw the map

Pros

Culture is second to none. Each day you feel as if you have purpose and everyone is more than helpful. Its an excellent workplace.

Cons

Bonus thresholds can be very challenging to achieve. Also if you aren't one to wear several hats/roles than it may not be for you.

Pros

Great office space, Flex work hours, after hours events, team lunches (yes, FREE food)! You can win some cash prizes every now and then if you are a tech blogger ;)

Cons

They did not have any fixed work format for Interns. The pay was very less for kind of work they were expecting from an intern. Also, compared to other industry IT internships. No guidance/tips shared to understand the work environment/ project setups. You have to keep asking questions to know the details. The management staff is really good, but they need to have a good framework if they wish to have interns learn with them. I hope future interns will come out with some exp in their bags when the internship is over! Also, grabbing a full time offer totally depends if they have any projects in pipeline.
