Pros

The benefits CB offers are great - vacation time, unlimited sick leave, parental leave, health benefits. Most of the people are amazing as well. There are many genuinely awesome people who care and who are trying to make a difference. The values CB has documented are genuinely good values, they just don't do much in terms of standing by them.

Cons

Once you get past the surface and dig into the foundation of the company things start to fall apart. Decision making is done emotionally, but they try to hide that under an overabundance of data. Salaries are usually low. Once I left the company I was able to see how under paid I really was (am now making 20K more than I did there). I used to think it was a company that had it's struggles but was generally ok and trying, however the longer I've been away from it the more I realize how genuinely toxic it really was. Being in environments that are truly supportive and empowering, you see how mentally and emotionally draining working at CB is. If you're a technical person, it might be ok. There are more layers of management and so you're not as affected by the terrible pieces. Just make sure you ask for the salary you actually deserve. If you're non-technical, and value yourself, walk away.

Pros

The people and teams are great

Cons

Leadership is truly horrible. They have no clue what to do and it’s a constant scramble. Processes are constantly changing and then the people get blamed when leadership doesn’t like the results. Save yourself

Thanks for the feedback. I take concerns about leadership alignment seriously. I’ve made concrete changes since that period to improve decision transparency, communication, and how we support the team. This is an area I continue to focus on and refine. I’m confident in the direction we’re taking. If you’re open to it, I’d value a direct conversation to better understand your perspective.
