Cie Employee Reviews

We always have this underdog approach to things. I think the thing I love most about Cie is that we always punch above our weight class. And we come out winners.

Opportunity has expanded for me time and again with Cie. We’re a team that excels at empowering skills and seeks to constantly push the boundaries. We don’t look to imitate, we expect to invent.

Coming from a startup like Dropbox, I wanted to work with a smaller team where I could make a real impact. I couldn’t believe the access I had to the C-level team and, that they wanted to hear my ideas and own the process.

We love our social events at Cie and I love planning them! We enjoy catered lunches together, virtual activities, and in-person team bonding every month! When we’re not working hard, we like to go bowling, play board games, dress up and explore the area around us!
