ClickUp Staff Software Engineer reviews

People who work here are extremely talented and fun to work with. The atmosphere is fast paced, and there’s a big focus on constantly delivering new value to customers. That sometimes creates tension between product quality vs. introducing new features, but the company has overall leaned heavily into quality over the past year which is refreshing. The engineering culture is generally very good, especially when it comes to collaboration and avoiding NIH bias. Working on a product that the company uses to run its own operations is extremely rewarding. Even though it means dealing with many bugs and fire fights internally on a week-to-week basis, it’s cool to see how much is caught and fixed before it gets into the hands of customers thanks to organic usage from internal users. Compensation is very competitive, and IMO top performers are rewarded appropriately. Also appreciate that performance reviews are streamlined and avoid a lot of the annoying paperwork and process I’ve experienced at other companies. Lastly, I think upper leadership has proven itself in terms of the evolving product roadmap and overall vision. They're heavily involved in the major product decisions being made on a regular basis, and very in tune with customer feedback, which is a testament to the focus on end users and quality of the overall product.

- Fast paced company that does a good job keeping ahead of the industry and biasing for action - High degree of ownership and potential for impact - Lots of interesting scaling challenges on the engineering side - Many employees who really care about what they do with minimal ego - The company still feels as much like a startup as one can feel at our size (~1k employees) - Engineering management is expected to remain technical, while still being an actual manager - The company is very focused on its goals, with minimal fluff. All hands meetings are fun but the business updates are very clear about where we are and where we need to be. I never feel like I'm having anyone's political beliefs crammed down my throat like I've experienced at other companies I've worked at. - Being a productivity company leadership is very focused on making its engineers productive. Tooling, minimizing meetings for ICs and improving day to day barriers like CI and testing slowness is a constant focus, and leadership really does listen to the engineering pulse surveys.
