2. Here is the real TRUTH
Pros
- nice office
- free lunch and happy hours
- great gym
- lots of friendly and smart people
- good pay and regular raises
- bonuses for doing coursera courses and free online masters from UIUC
- some managers / teams are very nice and go against upper management when they are being ridiculous
- Most of their clients are evil which is a pro because we are scamming them
Cons
- Feels like a scam to sell a product that is worse than free alternatives (tensorflow or any other open source libraries)
- Company lies to their customers a lot by making fake demos (lol at CRM)
- Company operates like a sales or consultant company rather than a tech company
- Most of your work isn't actual interesting software development, mostly just obnoxious data cleaning and configuring json files
- If you want to do front end work you have to deal with the horrible "C3.ai ui framework". This framework is so annoying to work with that some teams have secretly made projects using React and pretended that they are using the framework
- most data scientists just use python to do their data science work instead of using the "Enterprise Ai Suite"
- no work from home, even after multiple people got covid in the office
- no 401k match
- no relocation bonus
- not much PTO or sick time
- CEO is out of touch with tech
- CEO is a conspiracy theorist who says that climate change is a hoax
- CEO keeps changing his mind on what this company is actually about
- Most of your TC comes in the form of stock which has been on a steady decline since IPO
- Toxic culture: diversity is laughed at, overworking for no extra pay is expected and applauded, and there is a lot of delusion that we are making products that advance technology / help people
- Incredibly hard to get promoted, CEO has to sign off on every promotion himself

C3 AI Response
This is fraudulent and was clearly not written by a current or former C3 AI employee. It was written by a competitor or, more likely, by someone with a short stock position. Virtually every statement is provably false.
Facts:
The CEO has never spoken about climate change being a hoax, in fact the company was founded by the CEO to address climate change.
C3.ai’s first product was C3 Energy Management ™ to address climate issues, energy management, and greenhouse gas mitigation.
C3.ai funds extensive research in Climate and Energy Security. See: C3.ai Digital Transformation Institute. c3dti.ai.
There is no product named the: “ C3.ai ui framework”
No knowledgeable person would confuse the functionality of the C3 AI Suite with an open-source library like TensorFlow.
Almost 100% of C3.ai employees worked from home during most of the COVID pandemic, until they all became fully vaccinated.
C3.ai currently offers generous PTO and unlimited sick time off.
C3.ai regularly offers relocation reimbursement to new employees.
C3.ai cash and bonus compensation combined is benchmarked at the 90th percentile for the industry. Stock is on top of that.
Our workforce is and always has been highly diverse.
