Avantages

Some cool creative employees Good PTO, if you can use it. Always too much work to take PTO

Inconvénients

- Zero work life balance (massively overworked) - Broken promises - Leadership offers to help but is quick to point the finger - Not every idea leadership comes up with is a good idea - Low pay for "junior" employees - No team support when wanting to take PTO - Bonus structure is designed for top employees, not lower level staff - Personal goals are unobtainable - Told to write good reviews - Too many leaders with no one leading - Hiring process is too long - Looks shiny and cool from the outside, but it's not that at all

We appreciate your feedback and especially candor on work life balance. 2019 was undoubtedly a learning year for CTC and with that comes change. Your experience through our change was turbulent at best, trust when I say that is far from what we strive for. We aim for transparency at company wide meetings and financial responsibilities should have been clearly connected to what that meant for our employees. Our hope — thanks to responses like yours — is to never mislead where we are and where we’re going again.

You will learn quick what to avoid in future companies and employees. Every role after will be a breath of fresh air.

Inconvénients

CTC is a chaotic, ego-driven mess, churning and burning employees and clients. CEO Taylor Holiday is a wannabe Twitter influencer playing entrepreneur, surrounded by an inner-circle of unqualified buddies. Strategy changes constantly, positive reviews are fabricated, departments are dissolved on a whim, and layoffs are routine. CTC demands unrealistic output from overworked employees, all while preaching a fake culture of “transparency” and “work-life balance.” Transparency means hyped-up financial updates paired with weird parties and alcohol, followed immediately by entire department layoffs. Work-life balance means 60 hour work weeks with a level of micromanagement I haven’t seen before or since. Not convinced yet? Welcome to leadership meetings where no one has a plan and everyone is too afraid to say the truth. Staying close to the in-crowd matters more than results or performance because it might just keep you your job. I’ll never forget CTC’s empty promises about development and achieving dreams, all while exploiting, discarding, and abusing everyone in sight. If you value your career, mental health, or basic respect, stay far away.
