Pros
- Some of the work, depending on sector and team, is interesting and for some of the country's most prominent organizations. - Good work/life balance on many teams. - My (non-managerial) colleagues were mostly good people: smart, helpful, truly cared about the work they were doing.
Kontras
- Poor management. I witnessed some truly shocking displays of managerial ineptitude: client, project, and staff. This is pretty standard at Civis, because while there still are a few good middle managers left, most of the strong leaders took off a long time ago and anyone decent coming in will know not to accept an offer from this place in its current state. - Compensation is very low. Enough said there. - Turnover is extremely high. It's impossible to keep track of how many people left the company in my last year there. A revolving door, as others have stated in their reviews here. - Dan, the CEO, is really bad at his job. His flippant firing of an entire marketing team, and abrupt termination of 10+ employees for attempting to organize with inconsistent and obviously untrue explanations has left staff not trusting him at all. Overall, this company is a mess and very close to having the bottom fall out completely. It would be hard to think of a reason why anyone with the skill necessary to work here in a technical capacity should given what the tech job market is like these days, This used to at least be a decent place to start a career and pick up good practical, applied experience, but that is no longer the case.
