CI&T reviews

Chronic overwork is the norm, not the exception Unpaid overtime is expected, with clear pressure to work beyond office hours regularly Very high attrition rate, suggesting serious internal issues Minimal to no support from colleagues, creating a sink-or-swim environment Sudden layoffs with no proper notice, including immediate terminations without the standard 30-day period Unrealistic and poorly planned timelines that set teams up for failure No respect for work-life balance, with an expectation to stay late and prioritize work above everything else Toxic management culture, heavily focused on output while disregarding employee well-being High performers are punished with more work, including tasks outside scope and outside working hours without additional pay Feels like employees are treated as expendable resources rather than people

The management style is quite reactive. There is a noticeable disconnect between project delivery and employee growth; if you are assigned to a "difficult" client, you are often left to fend for yourself without leadership support. Additionally, the lack of clear promotion criteria and below-market pay makes it hard to see a long-term future here.
