Vantaggi
Amazing colleagues across the network and you gain access to a great pool of start-ups and mentors.
Svantaggi
Extremely toxic work culture of micromanagement that is led by arrogant leaders who don't listen to feedback. Extremely high turnover of staff and sites themselves. Constantly launching and opening new sites but then they often only have 2-3 year runway before running out of money and closing quietly, People get made redundant extremely regularly across the network as sites close with no effort made to re-hire good staff members to other sites. Self-congratulatory work culture - you can't give feedback as the senior leadership only want to hear how amazing CDL is. The work for both venture manager and operations staff is often repetitive and administrative, You will not get promoted here as they only people promoted are those that engross themselves into the cult work-culture.
