Pros

+ Education is an amazing space to work in, you feel good about everything you work on + Massive scale of impact - over 10% of US K12 students use Clever every day (and growing) + Very thoughtful and intentional culture - everything from the culture tenants to seating arrangements to the order of entrees in the lunch line is thoughtfully done to do best by employees + Everyone who's here is here to help improve education, and show it by being super collaborative and putting aside ego for the greater good.

Cons

- Education isn't a hyper-growth industry, and although Clever is one of the most successful edtech companies ever, it's not doubling in size every 6 months like a scooter rental company. That means you're less likely to skyrocket in title, and you'll spend more time developing expertise in your current role.

Great product, but unstable culture

Pros

Great product. Efficient, easy to use, and overall brings great values to educators. VERY cool work atmosphere. The building itself is awesome, with free food and drinks. The culture is young and fun. Many employees are former educators, which makes for a productive and passionate environment. GREAT benefits.

Cons

SO much movement, which is to expected at such a small company. They hire low and promise growth, but compensation does not come with the growth. Many feel underpaid and overworked. Although leadership pats themselves on the back for transparency, many feel it's lacking. People are thrown into management roles with very little experience. Although it's a great growth opportunity for the new managers, it makes other members of the team feel uneasy.
