We're more than just a tech company. We're focused on transforming the practice of law, for good, by serving a better solution to a centuries old profession and doing some good in the world while we’re at it.
We know our technology changes lives. If that's something that speaks to you—you belong here, too.
Clio has successfully grown from 2 to over 400 employees by investing in our people and product, in that order. To achieve our mission of transforming the practice of law, for good, we rely on our both human and high performing culture.
Clio was named one of Canada’s Best Managed companies in 2018, and selected by Waterstone Human Capital as having one of Canada’s 10 Most Admired Corporate Cultures of 2016. Our employees have a founder’s mindset, which drives them to take responsibility for the company’s success, push boundaries, discover new solutions, and forge their own career path.
To better understand how we think, consider our values below. Our values were created collaboratively by a cross-functional team of Clio employees, and are are part of every decision we make, every day.

We have a fun and enthusiastic work environment.
We're all here to do meaningful work and transform the centuries-old industry of law—and transform our careers at the same time.
Our leadership comes from Salesforce, Amazon, the ACTIVE Network, Zynga, and more, and they believe in mentorship and sharing their expertise. You’ll never hear "that's not your job" here. Instead, you’ll be encouraged to explore and build a meaningful career that works for you.
We believe in learning at all levels. From company-wide lunch and learns to opportunities to speak at and attend industry-leading conferences, you'll find many ways to refine and expand your skill set.
We'll invest in your learning and development through innovative leadership development programming, an internal coaching program, and tuition and book reimbursements.
We provide an RRSP matching program, a highly competitive parental leave program, and an RESP contribution program to help you plan for you and your little one's future.
We believe in benefits that take care of the whole person. We have weekly onsite yoga, bootcamp, acupuncture, naturopath, and RMT massage. We provide healthy snacks when you need to refuel. In our Burnaby office, we have a yoga room, a zen room, an on-site gym (membership costs are on us) and a bunch of puppies when you need to unwind (that’s right—we’re dog friendly).
As part of our initiative to ensure that all employees have access to proactive and preventative mental health resources, our Clio Cares program offers a unique complement to our extended health benefits and robust Employee Assistance Program. Clio Cares provides an additional $2,000 to spend per year on Clinical Counsellors, Registered Psychologists, or Licensed Social Workers, over and above the coverage provided for paramedical providers. We’re proud to offer this benefit for all employees, regardless of level or role or tenure.
I have been working at Clio full-time (More than a year)
Pros
- Management cares about you and your career.
- Constant one-ones to make sure you are always engaged and working towards your goals (whether that is advancing in your current role or exploring other opportunities).
- Friendly and approachable senior management. All C-level and VP level staff are welcoming and even though they are at a higher position they treat you with respect, dignity and are open to feedback. You can start up a conversation with any of them including the CEO.
- I've seen countless numbers of colleagues advance their careers here. It's a great launching pad for future work of which you can continue to be passionate about.
- Great product that truly helps others in gaining access to attorneys and legal assistance.
- We run a conference every year and this should be one of the main reason why anyone should work here. If you get hired, go to Clio Con.
- Great perks too including free lunch, breakfast etc...
Cons
- Sometimes the work can be a bit of grind - but that is the nature of being in a rapidly growing company.
- Sometimes in the certain departments you may feel like a bit of an outsider to the rest of the company - however, there are many opportunities for you to change this and engage with the rest of the company, it is simply up to you to take advantage of the times that you can. (i.e. using your lunch breaks or staying a bit later to engage with others outside of your department).

Application
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Clio.
Interview
A friend referred me for this position. They got back to within 1-2 days for a 30-min phone screening with HR. HR was very nice, polite and helpful. Explained companies mission and the interview process carefully. They got back to the day after and told me that they don't have a Jr. opening at this point.
I had an awesome experience with my application and communicating with them. They were super fast and nice about it. They respect candidates enough to send them custom messages, not a generic thing 5 months after that you are not selected.
Would 100% apply again.
