Pros

The company has a great core product. My coworkers were among the best I've ever worked with. Recent management changes will enable the company to reach its potential.

Cons

CS is the ultimate dog-food company. The employees know what is needed, but the management did not listen. There were product improvements badly needed and in huge demand for YEARS that went unaddressed. For an engineering hackathon two years ago the engineers developed some great features that customers really wanted , and yet these were never incorporated into the product. Often new features that customers had not asked for were approved and quickly developed, but then never enhanced. Lack of needed improvements along with half-done features left the product with a mediocre feel.

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.
