Pros

- The people. Majority of hires coming from the Big 4 were great additions to the team. The Managing Partners had a "no jerk policy" where they would only give the thumbs up for someone they would happily share a beer with. - PTO policy is above the US average (although below other comparable countries). - Come here if you want to give your brain a vacation. Alot of the jobs are secondments. No real consulting involved - clock in and clock out with minimal responsibility

Cons

- Pay is below market rate. You will be sold on the "intangibles" but there are none. Internationals are told that their compensation package includes the relocation/visa fees to get you to the US, but the following years salary does not reflect this amount. - Professional Development doesn't exist here. If you are looking to grow and upskill, you are at the wrong place. Leadership don't care about your career goals - dont be surprised if you are pulled into a different service line - Weak local leadership. Don't expect to pick up any softskills here. - Perception is everything here. It is not enough to do a good job, you need to be seen to be doing it. If you are put on a client where you report directly to the client (and not CCC leadership) you are unlikely to be recognized for your efforts. - Politics - you have to drink the cool-aide - The caliber of client can seem impressive, but the quality of the work you are doing is not. Leadership appear to struggle to convert leads into actual sales. You will always hear about a great pipeline, but have yet to see it materialize. - No diversity in leadership

Pros

I have never written a review for a company ever but felt compelled to after my experience here.

Cons

I’ve read bad glass door reviews and always attributed it to a disgruntled employee but that’s not the case here as is evident by the influx of negative reviews. I say this with absolute care for future potential employees: RUN. Do not work here. They promise you fake niceness during the interview process but once you’re on board it’s a different story. My colleagues’ mental health plummeted to abysmal levels here due to the insane expectations and managers and leadership. Part of the new hire onboarding checklist is to leave a positive review on Glassdoor…how can a new employee accurately review a company? This place rewards the most toxic, narcissistic people to walk this earth. If you have any ounce of a soul, run and don’t look back. This place will stifle any joy you have in life. It’s sad because they made it seem like a nice place to work in the interview process but the experience juxtaposed it to the extreme. This is where dreams disappear. This place rewards some of the most cruel people to walk this earth.
