Pros

You can talk your way into promotions and jobs with no real skill set if management is any indication.

Cons

Nepotism over runs the place HR will do nothing, you would need to be assaulted on camera before HR would consider moving a finger. Most people are lifers and have gotten promotions by being the only people left after good people leave to get better paying jobs. Lowest salaries In the industry No one takes any accountability and just care about finding someone to blame when things go wrong. Everyone is just trying to cover their butt. So much politics, everyone is obsessed with it to the point where the entire culture feels fake.

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.
