Ever since CB went up for sale two years ago, it stopped caring about its employees. Since then, there has been zero outreach to employees to learn their concerns or struggles. They have gone through SEVERAL rounds of layoffs without creating a plan to fill the gaps left behind from losing those roles. The remaining workers have had an increased load (without an increase in pay). On the contrary, they are taking away benefits - for example, the removed summer hours in 2017, they recently they switched the 401k provider from ADP to Empower (which has higher management fees for employees), and the 3% employer match is now paid out at the end of the calendar year, instead of by pay period - meaning if you lose your job or quit, you lose the employer match for the entire year AND you don't receive the interest over the course of the year. I, and many other employees, are concerned about what else they're going to take away. Also, they've been pushing out products that are incomplete and full of bugs - and of course the salespeople are the ones that have to suffer the consequences when clients complain and don't renew.

Working thru the acquisition by Apollo for the last year has been tough. We’ve seen a destruction of the culture, and fear has taken over. It’s no longer a fun place to work, and the pay continues to be subpar. With benefits and culture being removed, there’s not much left to attract talent. The company is gearing up for a fourth round of (secretive) layoffs THIS YEAR, and are looking for any excuse to cut talent despite their history or performance with the company. The general sentiment from employees is that Apollo will split us off and screw everyone over. If you have an interview here, run in the opposite direction.
