Pros
Nice office in Tyson's Corner, VA Company gym High cash TC - but no equity unless in management
Cons
Can only speak to the AI and ML teams. Avoid them at all cost! Every 6 months, forced distributions and bottom is cut. If everyone does above average, your team will be bullied into assigning someone as below average. Doesn't matter how you perform if your manager has his favorites - even if they are incompetent. I've had someone on the machine learning team ask me what gradient descent is. Or if your manager doesn't look out for his own employees because he is too busy trying to save his own job - then YOU are on the chopping block. Poop rolls down hill. You could be hired to meet PIP quota, so you are doomed the day you start. They call it hire to fire. When calculating TC, expect to also add on your severance package. Why does it look like the ML and AI jobs at C1 are having a hiring frenzy? Because they're replacing everyone they pip'd! Entire management tower is full of amazon and meta rejects and pips - toxic culture follows. Already have an offer in hand, will be cruising until I get pip'd next cycle to collect severance and go.
