Pros
CB really had a knack for spawning talented people. The bright side of that nowadays is CB can be used as a springboard into bigger and better companies. I truly learned a lot during my years at CB, and in general your direct managers are vested in your growth. I wish I could say the same for executive leadership.
Cons
Working thru the acquisition by Apollo for the last year has been tough. We’ve seen a destruction of the culture, and fear has taken over. It’s no longer a fun place to work, and the pay continues to be subpar. With benefits and culture being removed, there’s not much left to attract talent. The company is gearing up for a fourth round of (secretive) layoffs THIS YEAR, and are looking for any excuse to cut talent despite their history or performance with the company. The general sentiment from employees is that Apollo will split us off and screw everyone over. If you have an interview here, run in the opposite direction.
