Pros
  • Best pay-to-work ratio for new grad SWE's in the entire industry.
  • Out of all the new grad programs at C1, we get the most perks (fun events, free merch, etc.); it's very evident the company cares for and values us.
  • Pay for your AWS certification (but it's also mandatory).
  • You can get promoted in ~1 year as a new grad.
Cons
  • Annoying in-office attendance policy. They actually check how many times you swipe into the office over 13-week periods.
  • Work is boring and slow.
  • Pay doesn't scale well as you move up.
