Pros

Good work life balance for employees.

Cons

Leadership recognizes internal political clout over merit and measures application volume as the primary success KPI (not how well they enable their clients to acquire hired). Translation: their entire product strategy is spamming jobseekers and veiling the spam as meaningful engagement that leads to hires (which does not happen) during new deal and renewal negotiations. But it’s all smoke and mirrors that will long term render CB extinct by neglecting value.

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.
