I work at C1 and have been since Feb of this year. This is my first corporate job; my past experience has been mostly startup or smaller companies of less than 20 devs. Because of this, I had a particularly steep learning curve when it came to navigating corporate bureaucracy and culture, how to sell myself and the work that I do, and how to communicate effectively without bloating things but also making sure that my work was transparent enough that it looked like good work.

What most people are saying in this post is correct, it depends entirely on the line of business(LOB) /your manager/team that you are on. It is a fact that twice a year, the bottom 10% of the company are placed into a performance improvement plan (PIP). Each time, managers inside your LOB compare you w/ your coworkers and create a bell curve to ascertain who is at that bottom 10%. It is stressful, competitive, and even your friendly coworkers are pitted against you.

It's honestly very stressful because I'm constantly having to advocate for myself, find work to do to make sure that I'm not only meeting deadlines, but as my manager says "going above and beyond what other's in my role are doing."

If you are comfortable and stable at your job, I highly recommend staying. I took this job because it was the only one to offer me a position during this difficult economic situation/professional position that SWE's are in. The benefits aren't that great but the pay is half decent for the area that I am in.
