Pros

A few departments have hard-working people (at least those who have survived the layoffs over the last year). However, everyone is looking to jump from this sinking ship, so the good ones are leaving.

Cons

It is very apparent that upper management is planting positive reviews on here for prospective employees (and perhaps potential buyers). Anything with a rating higher than 2 stars, most likely has been planted by upper management. For example, we had a company meeting not that long ago (August 2017) where an employee brought up "How are we going to get decent employee prospects to come here, with such terrible reviews on places such as Glassdoor.com?" HR took the question and gave a canned spiel and then the very next day, there was a review posted on glassdoor.com (see Aug 2, 2017, titled "Seriously, it's a fine place to work"), that reiterates what HR said to us at the company meeting. Such a joke - who are they fooling? This company is circling the drain.

The CBORD Group Response
8y
CBORD has undergone some new and significant changes in management and structure-it is true. The strategy of the company has changed and some choose not to align themselves with that change. Some believe they are no longer a good fit and we encourage them to look for other opportunities. There is understandable anxiety when change happens. The culture at CBORD encourages empowering employees to speak up and share information in a an honest, safe environment and being accountable.
