Pros
This company used to have an amazing culture and some of the best people and products in the industry. There also used to be a reasonable work/life balance for most employees and decent extras like half-day-Fridays in the summer, volunteer days, tuition reimbursement, bagels/beer/free lunches.
Cons
Sadly this list is growing longer by the day. Revenue has been stagnant for the last several years and the parent company sold controlling ownership to Apollo Group, one of the world's largest PE firms that focuses on Leveraged Buyouts and Distressed Assets. As a result, 4% of the workforce was laid off and this comes on the heels of massive voluntary attrition which lead to many teams being very understaffed. Many of the benefits that people once enjoyed are gone and others will most likely be trimmed to cut costs. This all happened because the company could not decide the direction it wanted to take between an advertising company and a software company. The winds constantly changed directions and Sales was forced to sell half-baked products that did not integrate or perform as they should. Additionally the company grew through acquisition, but did a terrible job of integrating these new companies, often leaving former leadership in place, many of which poisoned the well regarding CareerBuilder. This all lead to one company acting like five, with no real strategy to move forward, and customers noticed. Finally, while CareerBuilder believes itself to be a technology company, it is not. Most of the tech is antiquated and requires daily deployments to fix bugs and keep the beast alive. The product teams have not created a new product in house in years (everything new was through acquisition) and the existing products have fallen to mid-tier at best. Updates to products were built using waterfall development methodology that took months or years to bring ideas to fruition. This is a SALES company, first and foremost and they make the decisions. Every decision that is made is down through the lens of Sales and all other departments are at their mercy. Even "Solution Architect" groups are really just sales teams and are just another voice to jam the flavor of the month down customers throat, regardless of what they want, need or can integrate with their existing technology vendors.
