Very good company culture, big on collaboration and inclusiveness. Management make great efforts to understand the needs of employees and do their best to get us what we need to get things done. Decent PTO, decent health plan, lots of food perks, and very nice offices. Plenty of training and advancement opportunities. Very stable company with no debt and low-risk strategy means good job security as well.
Cons
Pay is somewhat below market, but decent PTO and schedule flexibility are good, so it's a tradeoff. Execs are a little old fashioned about remote work, though a three day hybrid arrangement is allowed, so it's not too bad. If 4.5 stars were an option, I'd go with that.

Thank you for the thoughtful review! With more than 80% of our employees back in our offices in a hybrid format, we are working hard to foster an engaged and collaborative workforce.
Can get hired without experience.
Great Work Life Balance.
Fun perks like free food days/company parties/free swag.
Cons
Company feels unstable, relies heavily on third party companies/software.
Tech processes can use some work.
Very bottom of the pay scale compared to other tech companies in the area.

Thank you for the thoughtful review! We've been working to remain competitive when it comes to compensation, benefits, and perks. Also, COCC benefits from a number of long-term partnerships with world-class software vendors that provide us with technology our team of in-house developers is able to customize and integrate completely to meet the specific and evolving needs of our client base. It’s actually one of the things that makes our business model so intentionally different. Paired with our cooperative ownership structure where our clients are also our owners, we are empowered to make heavy investments into our people and keeping our technology not only competitive, but industry-leading. Today, COCC has been in the technology business for almost 55 years, and always operating within this very unique business model that has afforded us tremendous financial stability, even during times of sharp economic struggle.
Pay is low. Management will work you to death and still expect more. Management also pretends to care about employees wellbeing, but it is fake and only deadlines matter. Teams are not collaborative and everyone works on their own with little communication.

We’re sorry to hear that your experience with us hasn’t been on par with what we try to provide for all employees. We work hard to emphasize communication between teams and find innovative ways to build that collaborative spirit that is the hallmark of COCC! Employee well-being is incredibly important to us – especially in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition to becoming more flexible with our staff now working from home while often caring for kids or loved ones, we’ve also rolled out several new tools to help employees focus on both physical and mental wellness. We’re also committed to regular evaluation of our compensation and benefits packages so we continue to stay competitive in our market.
