Pros

Smaller staff means getting your hands on more lucrative opportunities. Work with some big name clients. Laid back atmosphere. Potential to make some solid commissions. Metrics aren't as bad as the industry standard. Overtime isn't mandatory, unlike our competing firms.

Cons

Turnover is alarmingly high. CEO micromanages and expects unrealistic metrics from new and junior recruiters. Ramp up time can be unforgiving. One bad month could mean you're out of there. It's mostly recruiting for Comcast and they can be very unresponsive or unreasonable with their requirements.

Pros

Great people I met with during a 6 round interview panel + on site at the office. Got a solid offer.

Cons

A new CEO (Sahil smth) joins last minute and withdraws the offer leaving everyone puzzled (perhaps bringing someone from his former company) while he is still learning how to spell CEI. My advice to anyone applying for roles at CEI - don't leave your current company as they may throw a curve ball at you last minute.
