Pros

There is a ton of demand for Clarizen's product and a lot of opportunity inside of the company as a sales rep to make money. Lead flow is extremely strong, and management is helpful in aiding reps to push deals to closure. In the past year, sales management has taken a company which previously was focused on the SMB market and pushed the company / product to enterprise grade. Big kudos to sales management in San Mateo on taking Clarizen to the next level.

Cons

While the fridge is fully stocked with drinks and snacks, there isn't a catered lunch or anything of that sort. Some folks might prefer this. I personally prefer more $$$.

Pros

The people there are very helpful and collaborative. You also have direct access to top management so it is a great place to have your voice be heard.

Cons

Need a bigger engineering/developer team. Not being able to fix bugs quick enough is due to lack of resources. Need to hire more people for this.

Pros

Pre-acquisition - good people in many departments Good product and product team Certain departments were amazing

Cons

COVID challenges were handled poorly - huge cuts in budgets, headcount and salary and although some of it was restored it left the employees battered and bruised. CEO lacks emotional quotient - consistently tone-deaf. Zero empathy. Acquisition by Planview is challenging, lack of information flowing, employees have no idea what their future holds - seems that only people who know they will have a job are CEO's inner circle and people he brought in. Lots of talk about the pride of culture etc. with WFH there has been little or no culture, very little done to provide /assist for employees mental well being, very little or very late concessions provided for the loss of nearly every perk from being in the office. HR communication is awful, lack of information, no follow-through, truly no resource to get assistance from - all goes into a black hole. Requests for questions are always requested but then refuse to answer any submitted questions in Q & A sessions if you don't ask them out loud. Work/life balance has been destroyed with COVID/WFH - everything is pressure to do more with less.
