Pros

*ClearCompany consistently lives up to the first part of its mission statement - Hiring and Engaging top talent. The employees I worked with were (for the most part) incredibly dynamic, positive, and tough individuals who never backed down from a challenge at work and came each day to the office prepared to give 100% *The office environment is generally relaxed yet driven and hardworking *The company will occasionally throw events designed to boost employee morale

Cons

*Upper management at ClearCompany consistently undervalues their employees, and thus fails at the third part of their mission statement: retaining top talent. *Upper management consistently over-promises on reforms to compensation, time off, and improving communication between managers and their employees. They then fail to follow up with these promises, leading to a strong sense of mistrust among their employees. *Employees are nonetheless asked to give 110% to the company, quarter after quarter, year after year. Employees are kept working hard through subtle tactics of pressure and intimidation. This became clear to me as I began to see the smartest, most hard working people at ClearCompany simply leave the organization. *An enormous amount of time is wasted with company wide events and meetings that focus far too much on the company ideology, which is drilled into the employees from their first day on the job. This creates frustration for the employees, as the company is asking them to work very hard and then will take up their work time to do hours of presentations that do not help most of many employees actually complete their daily tasks. Ultimately, this results in time wasted and money lost.

Firstly, thank you for your feedback - as an organization focused on helping our customers become better employers, it’s critically important that we ensure that we are doing the same. You certainly bring up some valid points that ClearCompany is proactively working to resolve. At times, some initiatives to improve employee benefits/compensation were prematurely announced - as of January 2018 the aforementioned promise to reform compensation for employees has been delivered upon for a large portion of ClearCompany employees in addition to some new employee benefit programs that were a welcome surprise to all employees. As we have learned over the past 5+ years, the landscape for a small yet rapidly scaling company in the technology space can be challenging for both management and employees; we acknowledge our faults - we appreciate the efforts that employees put into their roles day after day with the understanding that we must ensure that we are rewarding their efforts and that we continuously strive to provide competitive compensation packages. Internal company meetings are one of the most challenging things to get right when you are scaling - striking the perfect balance between effectively communicating critical information across the organization and making the best use of everyone’s time. In recent months, we have implemented a more formal format, designed to drive more employee participation and value, so that content of those meetings is streamlined and relevant to the attendees. To date, this new format has proven quite successful as we have seen increased awareness and knowledge for employees and have found value in the collaboration that the departmental meetings foster. As ClearCompany continues to grow and scale, we welcome and promote constructive feedback at all levels of the organization and carefully consider how we continually improve services, not only to clients but also to our employees. Thank you again for your feedback - without it, we would not be able to achieve our own mission!
