Pros

- Best work / life balance in the business. - Colleagues are all first class professionals. - Interesting work, excellent opportunity to develop a working knowledge of areas adjacent to your primary area of expertise. - Very good employee benefits package.

Cons

- Limited training, you have to figure out a lot of things for yourself, so it may not be the best place for less experienced candidates. - Despite the flat management structure, CI is a big machine to turn, so the lack of progress on important projects can be frustrating at times. - Compensation is squarely in the third quartile of the fair value range and there is a lack of alignment with business objectives. - Very limited opportunities for career progression, so if that's what you're looking for, better to look elsewhere.
