Do you like to work on excel and powerpoint?
Do you like multiplying numbers and at the most doing weighted average?
If yes, then you can think of joining C1.
The only reason an engineering PhD should join C1 is if he it is a question of survival.
You could be a T6 if you are a stats Phd (not sure).
About promotion, as you can see your PhD wont help you do better than an MS/BS for multiplying numbers in excel or creating graphs in powerpoint. |

You mean to tell me they pay people over $50k w/ advanced degrees to sit around and play with excel & powerpoint all day?
Sounds more like an entry-level position that would be good for a recent college grad to get experience, then move on to a "real" company.
From what I've heard (a buddy of mine works there), the campus has a "young" culture, most likely fresh outta school, bubbling w/ fresh ideas & dreams of being CEO.
If this is indeed the case, it wouldn't surprse me to find out you'd be reduced to doing 9th grade AP math to get the job done.
