Pros

I’d like to thank Apollo and Irina for absolutely NOTHING

Cons

The acquisition by Apollo in late 2017 marked the death of CB. Cost cutting. Culture destruction. Hemorrhaging of top talent. Irina and crew have ruined what was an amazing company and she did it fast. Irina truly deserves her embarrassing 16% approval rating. (I’m shocked it’s not lower). She, and Apollo, have destroyed the lives of hundreds (500+) employees who gave decades of loyal and committed service...all for penny’s on the dollar. The old CareerBuilder philosophy was "employees are a company's most valuable asset." The new Apollo/Irina philosophy is "employees are a toxic and cancerous expense on our balance sheet and should be cut quickly and cruelly." Thanks for nothing! Hope you can continue to afford your designer shoes and expensive cars while the rest of us now pinch penny’s to provide food for our kids. Hope you one day see the damage you have done to great people like us. We have very real families to feed and very real bills to pay...but guess you don’t care.

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.
