Pros
Some of the good people left are trying to hang on. And the office layout is still cool. That's about it.
Cons
First off - it's beyond obvious when one of the exec's or their minions or someone from HR gets on here to write reviews. I think there's a trend, and it's obvious some of these are not like the other's.... But getting on with it.. The CB I knew and the shell that it is now are really a tale of two companies. Let's just do a quick side by side comparison: [Old CB]: Invest in your employees, offer leadership classes to top performers, bring in industry experts for lunch n learns, be agile, offer trip. [New CB]: Cut virtually all travel and training expenditures (though I've heard directly from the mouth's of execs this is not the case...so I've been lied to is what I'm saying), cut leadership training ("B/c I don't want to focus on a few people" [ahem...your top performers for which you've rewarded with these courses for YEARS]), 'lunch n learns' w/ industry experts turned into webinars with 'oh btw, bring your own lunch', get away from Agile and go Waterfall and Six Sigma (just what young potential tech employees want), and then blame El Chapo as a reason for trip not happening this year (no BS - that actually happened on a sales call). It's a shell of it's former self. Some whole departments and teams are voluntarily leaving. Stop telling me about 'We're not Google...(yet)' Really? You think you had to tell me that? Transitions are hard, I get it, we've been around - but coming in and shelling everything, offering watered down versions of previous base options like you're throwing us a bone, all the while creating a septic environment based solely on EBITDA (thanks employee terminations to help with that!), and then wondering why "culture" is fading (but don't worry, it's not exec's fault. Literally, I was told that...to my face) is a little beyond the pale.
