Pros

A few decent people remain

Cons

Products are way behind, built on ancient technology. Anything new is mostly a gimmick (do people really walk down the street holding up their phone to see who’s hiring in the building in front of them?) or they try to leach off of what Google is doing and claiming it as their own. Management is drinking the koolaid and trying to convince others ( and themselves) that things are getting better and “CB is back!”. Take a look at the revenue and renewal trend for the truth.

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.
