Pros

There are a lot of smart, innovative people at CareerBuilder and it's sad to see how much time and energy they(including myself) are all wasting. The idea of this company is still great, but that will now just be that... an idea.

Cons

Severe lack of communication by the leaders, and the interest in employees has turned into wanting everyone to keep quiet. This comes from all directions of the company- C-level, HR, Sales, IT, Customer Success, and the list goes on. Promotions were not allowed this year, and there was zero increases given on all non sales positions. Also, the bonuses averaged 75%, so don't believe the promise of a target income. The morale is beyond low, and people are literally dropping like flies around here. I don't doubt that Apollo hurt us, but the fact that our leaders hid in the sand for the last year made this company feel like a complete fraud. Lastly, the new COO came into this company on a broom and leads like it as well. That speaks volumes on where this company is heading.

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.
