      Horrible CEO and President

      Pros

      The employees are the only great thing about the company.

      Cons

      The CEO and President (Irina and Sasha) is the #1 problem at CareerBuilder. They do not know how to run a business and should have been gone a long time ago. Irina is completely incompetent and an airhead. She should have never been appointed to be CEO. Her hands is always in everyone's job but her own which makes you wonder what does she really do. She's very cruel, heartless, phony and talks to people in a disrespectful manner. I've witnessed Irina decimate and humiliate an employee to the point where the person was visibly shaken and crying. This company is very outdated in the HR tech space and won't be around much longer due to poor leadership, archaic processes, and they can't compete with what is current in the market.

      Pros

      No oversight of employees, very few KPIs, no real structure, good benefits, leadership from afar

      Cons

      Executive leadership is truly a joke. The 35 year old CEO Irina, who is a bobble head for the private equity group Apollo Global, decided to lay of countless revenue-generating employees during the COVID crisis instead of taking a pay cut. With 50% renewal rates, a collection of outdated products, and Executive Leadership that have been put put in place by private equity so save a sinking ship. I will be happy to see this company goes down in flames at the hands of Irina Novoselsky, Sasha Yablanovsky, and other wannabe leaders. Go back to the firm, let real leaders run companies. You had 2 years to make a difference and have failed miserably, so you took it out on the sales & success teams. Great leadership.

      Pros

      CareerBuilder's pure Lack of Leadership ability at all levels of the organization gives you a bit of freedom when working your accounts. CareerBuilder's new office space is great but as the saying goes, you can't polish a turd.

      Cons

      CareerBuilder has a pure lack of leadership ability at all levels of the organization. CareerBuilder's short sighted decision making continues and leadership's inability to follow through on the simplest of tasks will result in selling it for parts AGAIN... (P.S. the CareerBuilder scrap sale is already underway). There is almost no training program... just people rambling about products with no agenda, goal, or strategy for retention. There is NO TRACKING or METRICS whatsoever. Everything is based on... I guess FEEL?
