Pros

1) good engineering team (but the good engineers are quitting on a daily basis)

Cons

1) exempt developers are being asked to work for 10+ hours even when they have delivered their sprints on time everytime. 2) they are hiring any random engineer cause they can't find good engineers 3) good engineers who provide last hopes to this company are jumping off the ship on a daily basis 4) organization is becoming extremely top heavy where there are more manager than individual contributors. only people who have been hired in the past 6 months are directors and vp's with random or no responsibilities. 5) the companys growth has been declining since last past 4 quarters and they miss there quaterly targets by more than 10% quarter over quarter.

As the HR Leader at ClearSlide, I welcome the feedback from current (and former) employees. What’s particularly surprising from a current staff member is how inaccurate this post is at representing the engineering team’s current composition, as well as our success metrics. If this is not a productive environment for you to grow and develop, please don’t keep your concerns anonymous – please reach out to me or my team for a confidential discussion. Michele Maynard

Pros

Just to preface this, I have been working for ClearSlide for about 1 month and honestly I feel that all the negative reviews being posted here are from a different time period and don't reflect the ClearSlide of today. My observations thus far: 1. I have never been asked to work 10 hours a day. 2. Being proactive with your own career is how you promote career growth here. 3. Leadership is pushing for the company to be profitable. Can't say that for most investment reliant tech startups can you? So on with the PROs: -Very nice and helpful people- I've never had problems getting information. I have multiple avenues of contact with every team within the company. Despite being on a bit of an island in from the SF office in NYC, I still feel connected and can get resources whenever I need them (after 11:30am EST of course). -You are heard- When I find issues in the platform and report them, I always get feedback. I have found a few bugs or non-intuitive functionality within the platform within the month I have been here and the dev team is already actively working to fix all of them. -Excellent work life balance- Like I said before, I was never asked to work 10 hours a day. -Unlimited PTO -Free food- and lots of it! I have many more pros I could list but I'll just keep it short.

Cons

Cons- -No matching 401k yet -NYC office is much quieter. SF office is more lively and fun at the cost of productivity(compared to NYC at least). Not entirely a con I guess. Can't think of any more cons. Will update if any.
