Pros

Great benefits, lots of perks, lots of swag and random gifts, lots of team events and a very easy and brainless job. All you have to do is schedule meetings, color code the living life out of that calendar, otherwise you are not competent in C1’s eyes.

Cons

Working there with all the back stabbing people will have you doubting your intelligence and asking yourself if you are ever capable to getting anything done right because the gaslighting is real. They will tell you are doing great, not provide feedback and then in review time you will be blown away by all the lies the will make up to justify your low rating. Yes they do stack ranking and if you are not good at being fake, stabbing people in the back and being the “hey look at me I am so great” to leadership then you will not last long.

Pros

Excellent benefits Great community, major opportunities for growth

Cons

The training process can be challenging due to the volume of information and the absence of a dedicated trainer, though the team is supportive and committed to helping new employees succeed.

Pros

Pay can be decent compared to GovCon. Some people are a pleasure to work with. Other non-pay related incentives.

Cons

Never heard more nonsensical topics during meetings; people sharing their sexual preferences, flaunting overly dramatic personal lifestyle decisions, diversity to the point of failure, etc. Hearing the term "white guilt" in a professional setting was, well, pretty unprofessional. Stack ranking for performance reviews is a mess. Someone has to have an "F" regardless of their performance because that is what their line of business is allotted. Be prepared to be held responsible for actions any Sr Leadership would just sweep under the rug under their own circumstances. If a manager doesn't like you, regardless of your productivity, you're toast unless you're able to find another LoB to support. HR / AR are just a check in the box and will most likely point you from one to the other and back again without resolving any issues. You'll find yourself curious as to what leadership does as they continue to scrape managerial responsibilities from their plate, to yours. Last but certainly not least; you may find yourself working hard on a project; nights and weekends, just in case that work life balance is feeling a little too perfect. Fret not, someone will surely assist in taking credit for the hard work you've put in. I'm sure none of these things will happen to you, though. Best of luck!
