Pros

starting salary is good and the food is good

Cons

All experiences are my own: The ranking review system is life-breaking. If you are lucky, you join a team with an understanding manager, but if you are unlucky, your manager will have no mercy on you, literally saying, “Well, maybe you can learn those things while you are resting or napping." The job distribution is not fair across the same job title. Be aware, some managers will bend the company policy to make you work more, and you will not have a place to complain about it because the managers are not being managed based on their humanity. This company is very result-driven, with no work-life balance. The onboarding process to learn the codebase is close to none, and the management team is abusive, but it does not seem anyone cares to report. The little guys suffer because they have to make the money.

Pros

- Best pay-to-work ratio for new grad SWE's in the entire industry. - Out of all the new grad programs at C1, we get the most perks (fun events, free merch, etc.); it's very evident the company cares for and values us. - Pay for your AWS certification (but it's also mandatory). - You can get promoted in ~1 year as a new grad.

Cons

- Annoying in-office attendance policy. They actually check how many times you swipe into the office over 13 week periods. - Work is boring and slow. - Pay doesn't scale well as you move up.
