Pros

This gets 2 stars for the greatness that it was years ago, but in 2018 times, it would be 1 only. Years ago, CB was the best place to get your feet wet and foot-in-the-door at a company. Great training, benefits, wellness, PTO, promotion path, outings, and fun! You were able to grow, work hard, and promote yourself, and the benefits would follow. Now that is all gone, and I really don't know what "pros" are left. maybe some of the best coworkers and people that I've had the pleasure of knowing and working with, but that's it.

Cons

This list is going to be insanely long but here goes... -jerks in management -products not working -no one caring about anything, including the major attrition and people leaving in droves -no more 401k match, wellness, or really any other benefits besides health insurance. -no travel or fun expenses (which is what made CB so great before) -Irina in, Ferguson out .... it's an overall incredibly depressing place to be. I'm very happy to be out.

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.
