Pros

- Location - Decent work/life balance

Cons

- Employees are considered expenses, not assets - Talent isn't valued - Pay is very low for the market, benefits are sub-par - No opportunities for growth unless you want to do more without a promotion, new job description or pay increase - CEO aloof, out of touch with employees, a poor listener and worse communicator - Executive management assumes you're incompetent unless you prove otherwise— there's little trust or respect - No strategy for the future— it's all day-to-day chasing revenue and cutting costs

Pros

One of the best resons to work for CB is my work/life balance. We do work really hard, but we also are allowed more than enough time for family obligations, unexpected events and go-home-early days when we need it. We can also arrange work from home days at a moments notice. Fremont is also a terrific area to work in for shopping, food and after work drinks.

Cons

There are some cons of working here. The first is that the recession has reduced the already small workforce by about a third. Thus, everyone has acquired the roles of several people. The most successful of us have enough legacy knowledge to be able to cope with the workload. Any new employee would easily be overwhelmed. Another con is that everyone, no matter their title, has their own office. This creates the definition of silos especially in this turbulent environment. The last con I would like to mention is that we don't really have a company culture or identity. It seems like we have been so driven to make money, that we forgot or lost track of who we are and what we stand for.

Our new CEO, growth of the economy and many other changes have hopefully addressed many of these concerns. Our new Elliott Avenue offices have literally broken down the office walls!
