Pros
Sometimes there are bagels sometimes.
Cons
I spent over a decade with the original company before it was acquired by CYM. We were repeatedly told that “nothing would change” and that business would continue as usual. That turned out to be a blatant lie. Within a few months, the "co-founder"—a figure with no known credibility in the real estate world—decided it was appropriate to lay off half the team in the middle of the workday. Employees were paraded into an office one by one and handed pink slips like we were part of some dystopian HR experiment. Once the damage was done, he slipped away unnoticed and hopped a flight back to New York. No explanation. No leadership. Just silence and confusion. That gutless move was the company's first clear signal: there would be no real leadership here. Following that, the experienced executive team was pushed out and replaced by individuals woefully out of their depth. What followed felt less like a business operation and more like a group of amateurs pretending to be executives. Basic communication doesn’t exist. Professionalism, clearly, is optional. Worse yet, if you dare to present facts or challenge misinformation, the reaction is pure immaturity—complete with screaming fits over the phone. Imagine working for toddlers in suits, and you’ll get the picture. There’s no strategy, no vision, no accountability, and certainly no diversity—unless you count the wide range of bad decisions. CYM is a textbook example of what happens when ego replaces competence.
