Vantaggi
Like countless others have stated, individuals at CBS make the difference. Multiple paid company outings per year. Catered lunches or food trucks paid for by the company. There have been some improvements in the support department and it’s certainly getting better. Low performing employees were dismissed and those who do perform, are being promoted and rewarded.
Svantaggi
It’s disappointing that the majority of complaints here have simply been dismissed until titles were mentioned (CEO, COO, CTO). I do see some positive changes, but the fact remains that jobs are being outsourced to help the bottom line and this was evident during a recent town hall meeting. I asked around and it turns out that testing and development for ALL existing major and new products is done overseas. How long before support and accounting are outsourced as well? Why stop there – might as well include sales and marketing so it’s right next to development. CBS claims that it is transitioning from a reseller to software company, but can you really call yourself a software company when the products you are creating are being outsourced? And yet, executives are protected and untouchable. If the bottom line is so important, shouldn’t the executives compromise and give up their car allowances? Why should the company pay for the CTO to live overseas in a luxury condo so he can brag about his exploits? Perception is reality and the reality is the serfs at the bottom work to make the CBS lords wealthier. If I’m wrong, prove it and I will gladly update my review.
