Pros

Working for CB was one of the greatest experiences in my life. Before the acquisition by Apollo, it was truly amazing. Great culture, visionary products, solid overall pay/benefits and amazing operations leaders.

Cons

What can I say...Apollo quickly turned the company into crap. Massive layoffs, reduced benefits, and created a culture of fear and backstabbing. I witnessed senior leaders literally throw loyal employees under the bus in order to save themselves from layoffs. It's going to get worse before it possibly gets better.

Pros

Culture was amazing before it was acquired by private equity.

Cons

The culture was great (before private equity), which made career advancement a game of social politics.
