Pros

ICs are skilled, compensation is competitive, benefits have declined, made an impact during COVID.

Cons

In assessing the management and leadership at Color, it appears that their level of experience and competence falls short when compared to that of their peers in the industry. It was evident that they may have made an error in over-hiring during the COVID-19 pandemic, as evidenced by the unfortunate 50%+ staff layoff that occurred over two rounds. Furthermore, there seemed to be a distinct lack of strategic direction for the company post-pandemic, with an unsettling pattern of nepotism present in the hiring and promotion of individuals closely affiliated with the C-suite. In light of these factors, it is my considered opinion that the overall outlook for the company is unfavorable, and it would not be advisable to recommend it to anyone seeking a stable and promising career opportunity.

Pros

The people you work with are the greatest people. They are so kind and will help you out.

Cons

This has been the worst company I ever worked for. Management will tell you "You are doing great!" but then turn around and say you are not meeting expectations. Leadership has no clue what they are doing and continues to blame the little people at the bottom. Its sad that the only conversation the people who are working there is talking about all the layoffs that has happened in the last five years. You do the work of five people and compensated like you work retail at 17 dollars an hour. The CEO is clueless. If I could rate this company a 0 I would. Please stay away from this company.
