CareerBuilder reviews

I know there are some positive reviews coming out, and there a few people who are still happy (They seems to be in McNairs Group mostly). If your coming into a new job though, your taking a position your probably not going where people are even content, but where they quit in frustration. Here why they probably left (since there were so few layoffs in engineering): -Horrible Work environment up to and after the buyout -Waves of engineers, leaving in groups of 10-20 within months then weeks then days of each other -Lack of promotions -Lack of concern of upper management (and some lower management) -Legacy code that isn't allowed to be cleaned up, instead new stuff is just grafted on like some monster -Taking away of summer days and altering 10% time And just generally making life miserable to get as many people to leave as possible, so they don't have to layoff.

I have worked for CareerBuilder for over 10 years and it has been amazing in every way...until new owners bought us. Since our new owners we have had several layoffs...which I totally get is needed & expected to help turn us around. For those of us left, we are worked twice and hard and many of us have not been giving raises in 2 years and the worst, there is zero communication around if/when we will get raises or why we may not be giving them at all. I am sure our new owners have great business & financial strategy HOWEVER, they have overlooked the most important thing...their employees who feel fully taken advantage of and undervalued. They are and will start to leave, and no matter how great the new owners plans are, they won’t be able to get anywhere without the right talent.
