Pros

COF is populated with very smart people who are driven to create leading edge results. Total cash compensation is excellent, although base is a bit lower than average. Leadership is very understanding of employees who need time off for family reasons or other personal reasons. Benefits are fairly good with a broad range of educational assistance, adoption benefits and even a two-week paid paternity leave. There is a high acceptance of people of color and LGBT staff. People are thoroughly screened before hiring to ensure as much as possible that they will be successful in this fast-paced, demanding culture. Women occupy many key leadership positions. The Richmond West Creek campus is beautiful.

Cons

Culture is quite unforgiving...very PC. Long hours and stress to create quickly with no mistakes can take their toll--this is not a company for those lacking confidence. In the current climate for financials, middle and upper middle managers are interested in showing their worth by cutting headcount while driving remaining staff to do more with less. As a whole the company is obsessed with speed and a six-sigma type approach to creation. Insofar as performance measurement goes, many times a person's "behaviors" as listed in in process counts far more than their results. In the past five years, the company has become far less nurturing.
