Pros

I am not in HR or marketing, but I am also not a disgruntled former employee with an axe to grind. I have been at ClearSlide for a while. I have seen lots and lots of change in that time, most of it for the better. The co-founders, are passionate guys who executed well for several years, and now the reigns have been handed over to new leadership who can manage the company at this point in its lifecycle. The recent changes around accountability and real transparency into all areas of the company and its progress is encouraging. I am looking forward to seeing what the next year brings, and working in an environment where everyone at all levels is empowered to do impactful work, question things that we don't understand or agree with, and work with some really good people. I think the company, and its employees have a good future. I look forward to being a part of it.

Cons

Along with the positive changes there have been some challenges. Some decisions have been made quickly, and not all of them have gone really well. There have been a few morale hits in the last three months, but nothing that would cause me to leave. Startups can be tumultuous. You have to work hard and expect some times of struggle and times of glide.

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.
