Pros: 1. Really good engineers. It's a shame their talent is going to waste at C3 AI. 2. Culture of learning. 3. If you're someone who wants to rest and vest, C3 is the place.

Cons: 1. Egoistic management who thinks they are gods, but in reality know nothing about the product, leading to overpromising and underdelivery. 2. C3 is the only company working from the office right now, and the CEO does not care that he is jeopardizing the lives of so many people working in close proximity with COVID still raging, as long as he makes money and keeps on dumping stocks. 3. Salary structure is poor, and you are likely to be stuck at the same base salary until you get a promotion and a meager hike. Then your base is going to increase at 2% after a promotion, and when you bring it up, the whiny buggers will say, "But we gave you stocks!" 4. You have to be a yes-man in order to survive. Don't like how some people run the company? You will be asked to clear your desk. The management is so fragile that they are terrified of feedback from a new grad unless you bend over. Sometimes it felt like working in a cult instead of a software company. 5. The CEO himself said that C3 is a services company and not a software company. So if you are thinking you are coming to a products-based company, don't bother. 6. Their interview questions are way overhyped to give a sense that you are going to be doing awesome work, when in reality all you will be doing is writing metadata. Just brush up on your LeetCode and interview with tons of other companies out there. You will get your true salary's worth and a better package than C3. 7. There is a reason not many experienced engineers join this company. 8. TS himself once compared the death rates of COVID with car accidents and provided logic where he said that just like you do not stop driving a car during accidents, you should come to the office during COVID. If you want to work in a company run by this man and his cohorts, please feel free to do so.

Pros: The thing that stood out most for me at C3 was the professionalism and friendliness of the staff. These are highly motivated people at the top of their game, and working with them was a pleasure. The problems they are trying to solve haven't really been attempted before, which makes them all the more fun and challenging to work on. For me, having a strong leader is very important to maintaining confidence in the company as a whole, and I would say C3 delivers on that front. I always looked forward to Tom Siebel's company updates, where he'd gather all the staff and present his thoughts on where the company was now, where it was going, and how to get there. They were a valuable insight into the 'big picture,' and the Q&A sessions that would often follow were also very helpful. They helped me understand where my work fit into the broader scope, which in turn made it more meaningful and ultimately satisfying. It seemed no expense was spared on the environment, with large open spaces and tasteful decor making it a pleasure to spend time working in. A free breakfast and lunch was provided, and there was a full-sized pool table and table tennis to help break up the day. Being able to take a stroll by the waterfront helped to clear the head too. There was also a complimentary gym with a pool, and even rock climbing about 2 minutes' walk from the office, which I enjoyed taking advantage of.

Cons: As with most small companies, there is no well-defined career ladder to climb, and it's often unclear exactly what it takes to get a promotion. But I'm sure that as the company grows, that will be addressed.

Pros: - Have the opportunity to work on challenging and meaningful projects. - Co-workers are top talents from all over the world. They are a pleasure to work with and very supportive. - Encourages a culture of diversity. - Managers care about the well-being of engineers. - Very nice office. - Free access to a gym. - Free breakfast and lunch.

Cons: - No work from home policy, but understandable. - Relatively fast-paced.
