We appreciate your feedback and especially candor on your time at CTC. 2019 was undoubtedly a learning year for CTC and with that comes change. Your experience through our change was turbulent at best, trust when I say that is far from what we strive for. Our hope — thanks to responses like yours — is to never mislead where we are and where we’re going again.

You will learn quick what to avoid in future companies and employees. Every role after will be a breath of fresh air.

Svantaggi

CTC is a chaotic, ego-driven mess, churning and burning employees and clients. CEO Taylor Holiday is a wannabe Twitter influencer playing entrepreneur, surrounded by an inner-circle of unqualified buddies. Strategy changes constantly, positive reviews are fabricated, departments are dissolved on a whim, and layoffs are routine. CTC demands unrealistic output from overworked employees, all while preaching a fake culture of “transparency” and “work-life balance.” Transparency means hyped-up financial updates paired with weird parties and alcohol, followed immediately by entire department layoffs. Work-life balance means 60 hour work weeks with a level of micromanagement I haven’t seen before or since. Not convinced yet? Welcome to leadership meetings where no one has a plan and everyone is too afraid to say the truth. Staying close to the in-crowd matters more than results or performance because it might just keep you your job. I’ll never forget CTC’s empty promises about development and achieving dreams, all while exploiting, discarding, and abusing everyone in sight. If you value your career, mental health, or basic respect, stay far away.
