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.
Kontras
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.
