CareerBuilder Reviews

Pros

*Excellent corporate culture. I loved my managers, co-workers, and coming to the office
* Very flexible with scheduling, work/life balance
* Management team empowered us to make our own decisions
* Learned a lot about the industry in a short time...great professional development
* Management Team is quite competent
*Competitive benefits

Cons

* The salary for non-sales people sucks across the board. Many on our operations team started as contractors, so they got the horrible CB salary, and none of the benefits.
* Sometimes a bit of a "high school" like atmosphere, "who you know" is very important
* Sometimes a lack of communication between sales and operations, leading to project confusion.

Advice to Senior Management

Increase the pay for your operations and delivery staff. You lose an awful lot of very good talent each year because other firms are willing to pay what they are worth.

Pros

People and challenging work environment

Cons

Little direction for advancement in career

Pros

Energetic workforce and incredibly competitive environment.

Cons

Incredible turnover, somtimes high school like atmosphere.

Advice to Senior Management

Be more business driven, less analytics

Pros

The culture of the office is fantastic, as far as the sales reps is concerned. Good benefits. Very good compensation. Senior leadership is great. Flexibility in your schedule. Sales reps are empowered to make decisions.

Cons

A glaring downside: promotions are not necessarily based on merit. A big factor in getting promoted (in the sales department) is based on favoritism and likeability. There is a "clique-ish" enviornment in middle management. Very disappointing.

Advice to Senior Management

My advice to senior management: increase your focus on the "soft skills" of your middle managers.
My advice to middle management: be more professional. Quit "chirping" to another about your sales reps. You inadvertently either help or hinder a sales reps' ability for advancement because of your gossip.

Pros

Leadership is great, the communication is very active and clear and the company seems to offer a lot of stuff to try and make its employees happy.

Cons

CareerBuilder pays well below market rate for many positions outside of sales. It's a great company but the low pay makes it diffcult to stay for many years. Some of the best employees leave because of low pay increases and low starting salary.

Advice to Senior Management

Nothing would make CareerBuilder the best of the best like increasing starting salaries. this would keep the best employees from drifting to other companies after a couple of years.

Pros

Income potential is truly unlimited. I was able to earn a promotion within only 6 months and literally made more in Q4 than I made in an entire year at a previous employer. The company culture is young, fun and innovative, yet still progressive and intense. In short, at CB, you're rewarded for working hard from both a compensation and personal standpoint. Making the move to CB is the BEST thing I have done for my career.

Cons

Incremental quota can make staying in one position for more than two years a challenge. At the lower levels, you definitely have to put in the activity, but that's expected anywhere.

Pros

Great benefits. People are fun, really smart. Good balance between home and work. Casual dress code. Knowledge sharing is abundant.

Cons

Lower salary than industry standards. Only people that work on high profile projects get recognition. Old old old code. People from the business side of the company do not care about the quality of the technology foundations as much as the products, which is slowly killing the company's ability to be agile.

Pros

There are development opportunities, teamwork and transparency. Management is all very helpful. Potential for growth is very good. If you want to work and perform than you are rewarded with advancement and unlimited opportunity. Strong brand, cool people! I love my job! I wake up every morning and have never felt a sense of regret or remorse.

Cons

need to have more promotions

Advice to Senior Management

Need to have more opening positions for Emea

Pros

Pay, Incentives, Culture, Ability for advancement

Cons

Can easily go up and down with the economy

Pros

I'am having great time as careerBuilder Germany GmbH. If you're smart, get things done, thrive when given tons of freedom this is the place to work @.
I've learned a ton about CareerBuilder core products, product development, customer development, recruiting, and Integration.

Cons

Promotion is missing , please prmote people from non-sales

Advice to Senior Management

I would recommend senior leader to recognize non-sales employees accomplishments and award them not only to sales teams
