Awesome people and great company
|
|
Very talented and passionated people. Very friendly and motivated environment. They were supportive and always willing to help interns. They let interns challenge by themselves, so interns could freely speak out their ideas.
|
People are too busy to take care of interns in detail. If you ask any questions or feedbacks, they
will willing to arrange their time for you. But it is possible they might forget about you sometimes.

If there is certain program for interns at least once a week, it would be much better to them to learn more about company.

Smart, Creative People Working at the Leading Edge
|
|
Control Group is filled with talented, passionate professionals (from consultants to strategists to product managers to design technologists to devops engineers and more) who are working at the leading edge of digitially activating physical space -- defining the future of urban scale technology as infrastructure.
|
There is nothing off-the-shelf about the work they do because the field they are defining is still emerging. That means it takes a significant effort to define each opporutnity and makes it difficult to know how to prioritize until each is, in fact, defined. That is a particular management challenge.

Hire a samll team (or two) dedicated to defining opportunities so that it can happen more quickly and not cannibalize the staff needed to execute on projects.

A big company that claims to be small when it's convenient to
|
|
Your peers are fantastic at this company. Company has a history of having very low turnover until recently. Really incredible projects. Cool people.
|
Extreme growing pains that seem to only worsen. Too many directors, and increasing feelings that management is out of touch with the people at the company happy to remain flat. There hasn't been a consistent HR manager in almost 2 years. We had an HR manager who actually inspired those losing faith, but she was let go within a few months and morale feels more strained than ever. Company takes for granted employees well being, especially when working on site for clients. Benefits slowly disappearing.

This company is something special, but there seems to be a diminishing sense of accountability and transparency with our growth. Focus less on the marketable nature of everything we do and more on your own core values. Communicate more. You can recognize more people's hard work without having to promote them. CG was a wonderful place to work once. I stay with (fading) hope it returns to it's former glory.

Fantastic people -- personable, very professional, a pleasure to work with and learn from.
|
|
My manager cared deeply about making sure I was always learning and gave me plenty of work to learn from without micromanaging.
|
Not everyone is as engaged in the company culture, and because this is a digital consulting firm, not all products will be super-interesting.

Culture of Excellence
|
|
An environment where cutting-edge technology meets self-correcting process, where people are encouraged to work together and learn together to make great, bulletproof products. You'll be proud of your work and your colleagues. The partners are generally excellent and thoughtful, and care about their business and employees. Company is growing at fast pace.
|
Tough timelines, pressure to produce, good pay but not great. If you're the kind of person who thinks it's ok to miss standups but still code well, this isn't the place for you.

A good way to jump start your career in IT, but don't plan on being here more than a few years.
|
|
Free snacks, free Metro card (if you're a Field Engineer)
|
Upper management is more concerned about how the company looks than how the company is performing.

Great Place to Work
|
|
Open office space, fresh fruit, career growth opportunities, lots of gadgets to play and experiment with, great people, community spirited.
|
Not a whole lot to say in the cons. Management is a bit unorganized (too busy?), can be too hands off with employees.

Don't forget to check in with employees. One 20 minute meeting can spread more positive morale than you'd think.
