Clever is the best place I've worked over 12 years across 5 companies

Business development

Business Outlook

Pros

Incredibly positive, warm, welcoming culture Great founders who are, among other things, very good at hiring stellar, experienced executives The chance to impact 50% of all US students through a platform with huge reach Smartest, most creative team in K12 edtech Internal mobility and career growth has been good to date Good work/life balance

Cons

Unclear exit strategy or timeline Clever is somewhat unique among K12 edtech startups in that it has found a real revenue-generating business, in addition to a huge network; at the same time, it has not yet cracked the next level of revenue growth

Best company culture I've ever seen!

Pros

I truly loved (almost) everything about my time at Clever. The people who make up the company are truly genuine, hardworking, collaborative, and believe in the mission of democratizing access to technology for all students. I would have stayed forever if I had worked in any other role!

Cons

My department had some leadership challenges, which meant almost the whole department turned over in a year. I believe that ship has since been righted, but that was the big con for me.
