Pros

BMC provided training! From day one you'll be required to pass and maintain certifications. Column will pay for all of these trainings, as long as you fulfill a two year contract with them. I doubt these trainings cost Column anything since they are BMC's global partner. Once you've received your certifications and customers are happy with your work, you'll have no trouble finding better employment and more compensation elsewhere.

Cons

Management is psychotic! Team leads and upper management do not lead or manage, they shout, berate and belittle employees on a daily basis. Although your customers will love and appreciate your hard work, Column will attempt to minimize your role and take recognition for your work. Once you leave the company you open yourself to a litany of backstabbing and attempts to defile your character. Trust is not a word that is used at Column. You'll definitely need antidepressants if you stay with this company too long.

Pros

Good benefits (great insurance and benefits package, good amount of PTO), decent workload. Solid work/life balance.

Cons

Awful company culture. I felt like I was in high school. Employees gossip all the time (including management!) I constantly was belittled and looked down upon for being a new employee, and was not treated with much respect. When I was hired, I was promised there would be growth opportunities, however this was a blatant lie. There were no opportunities for me to move up in the position I was in. I was constantly given grunt and "intern" work, although I have a masters degree AND I was a full time employee. I was basically given the work that no one else wanted to do. Management needs to work on COMMUNICATION, because it was severely lacking.

Pros

No good reason to work at Column unless you are currently out of work.

Cons

Most of the managers at Column are incompetent and rude. The worst is one upper manager who is a friend of the owner and hated by most of the employees at Column. I was also told the owner of the company was not happy about all the bad reviews on this website and instructed the marketing team to post positive reviews.

As the marketing director for almost 10 years, I disagree with the statement made that the positive reviews for the company are false. A vast majority of employees have tenure averaging 6+ years and it is not because they are 'out of work.' This post in its entirety has no validity and marketing was not 'instructed' to post false reviews by the CEO. The reviews posted have been made by employees of the company. In addition, we encourage our employees to post on Glassdoor and have openly asked candidates and employees alike to post their experiences. We know and accept that just as in life, some will be positive and some will be negative. However, at no point have we posted a false review.
