Pros

A job, you have a job that gives you a paycheck every two weeks that is easily 50-75 percent of what other companies pay your title.

Cons

Leaders have 0 idea what they are doing at all levels. CEO right down to your direct leaders. I've been here 5 years and my leader has never once looked at my work or giving me any constructive feedback. In my 5 years I have never seen a project reach the finish line on time or on budget. 0 employee promotions. I was given a title change from software engineer to senior software engineer without a pay raise. People making more than 90k have to pay more for health insurance to help clarivate afford health insurance costs for lower earners at Clarivate. They will tell you they can't invest in you or your career while executives are given millions in bonuses just to come to work. Your bonus will max out at 5% but because those same idiots who are getting millions set the goals you need to achieve, it will at best pay out half of what it should. Yours is based off of company performance theirs is just for walking in the door. Constant outsourcing if you invest in Clarivate just know you are helping push jobs to other countries. If your a leader at Clarivate especially within life sciences and healthcare, you should be called out by everyone for your contributing to a poor economy.

Pros

Opportunity to work with talented colleagues across North America, EMEA, and APAC. Flexible work environment with a strong emphasis on work-life balance for many teams. Complex, global business challenges that provide opportunities to develop operational, strategic, and cross-functional leadership skills. Exposure to enterprise transformation, AI, digital modernization, and large-scale operational initiatives. Collaborative teams with many dedicated employees who genuinely care about customers and each other. Ability to work with highly educated professionals across multiple disciplines and industries.

Cons

Organizational complexity and frequent restructuring can make decision-making slower than necessary. Roles, ownership, and priorities are not always clearly defined, which can create duplication of effort and reduce execution speed. Cross-functional collaboration varies significantly across organizations and often depends on individual leaders rather than consistent operating practices. Communication during organizational change could be more transparent and timely. Career progression can be challenging in certain parts of the organization due to ongoing structural changes. Continued investment in leadership alignment and organizational simplification would improve employee engagement and operational effectiveness.
