Pros

In being there for over 5 years, CB gave me a great start to my career and allowed me to meet people who truly cared and are still friends. They used to care about employees, and giving back to them, but not anymore!

Cons

It's truly sad to see the company become what it has. They've already sold off EMSI, which was a fantastic addition to the product set, and I wouldn't be surprised if more parts of the company get sold as well. It used to be a positive work environment where people listened to your ideas, cared about your work, and you felt like you had a purpose. Over the past 8-10 months, since the P.E, Irina, and new management has come in, it's been lay off after lay off, with no warning. They don't trust anyone, check to see if you're in at 8, and leave at 5 - everyone who is still there should watch their back. They say they care, but that's all talk - upper management doesn't give a hoot, except for hitting numbers. The workplace is depressing & quiet - you would think no one works there. They recently combined floors to create more "energy" on the floor, but it's really because so many have left, there is no need to have that many floors anymore. There used to be summer hours, and the people you worked with made up for the sub-par pay. Upper management has no idea what is truly happening in the day to day of the business, and all about hitting EBITDA goals. I've heard through the grapevine that they are finding any reason to fire people lately to hit EBITDA goals that Irina has put in place. Pretty sad for people who have given years of their life to this company, and gotten nothing in return except a walk out the door. When people do leave, it isn't brought up, or talked about - it's like they hope no one is noticing. Oh, and the only reason they are hitting goals is due to all of the salaries of people leaving going back to the bottom line. WORK ANYWHERE ELSE! You'll regret coming here, if you're thinking about it.

Pros

Still offers work life balance (for now) Some great people still work here (for now)

Cons

New management doesn't seem to care about the employees; they certainly don't listen Most of the benefits that set CareerBuilder apart have been taken away We seem to be moving away from Agile (which we're good at) and hurtling toward Waterfall. The rest of the industry is, of course, going the opposite direction.
