Pros

- So many people have left there are plenty of great cubes to sit at - Everyone is looking for another job so no-one much cares what your doing - AC - Most people are working from home which makes it really easy to play your switch - Now that most people are leaving you no longer have to worry about the multiple known sexual harassers that used to be on the pay role - Most of the knowledge employees in many key areas are gone so there are lots of places to hide your ignorance

Cons

- Forced employees to sign updated employment agreement that includes a disparagement clause to prevent people from talking about how bad the company has become - Has actually threatened litigation against ex-employees trying to get their friends to leave. Now when someone puts in notice they won't even tell you if they got a new job because they fear getting sued - Canceled bonuses - Canceled raises - 401k now only gets matched one time a year in December so unless you stay you won't get your 401k matching - CB used to be family now its more like foster home for people who could not find better jobs - Increased focus on trying to outsource Tech and IT

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.
