Pros

The organization seems to pay decent. I can't think of many others. If you like golf, high fructose corn syrup, and Vegas parties - you'll probably fit in.

Cons

For as far software development concerns, this place is a joke. Their architecture is goliath in size, archaic in stack, and beyond disorganized. The repos are huge and practices are poor. They provide a lot of excuses on why this came to be, with little effort towards refactoring. If you speak up on this subject, odds are they will let you go. Most developers at the organization have never worked elsewhere, and are junior to say the least. Software development managers are plain lazy human beings, and some have zero programming experience. On the front end, there is no code review, no way to check others work, and you almost always have to work directly on the live site with no source control. The efforts made to try and streamline any technical process are ugly bandaids that make the technological debt bleed incrementally faster. It should've thrown a huge red flag when they made a significant offer with no technical questions in the interview. Be wary.

Cons

Clearlink went from a CEO that didn’t give a single care about the employees to new leadership that seems to care now but with that, I feel like the new people aren’t aware of what’s really going on. When you’re hired here, boy, do they sell you the dream! Everything is good, and slowly you start to lose hope & very quickly you learn this company is going downhill one way or another. I was part of the social team for years. We were promised growth and new opportunities and that NEVER happened. We’d bring up concerns about leadership in our individual team and the concerns were NEVER taken seriously, because as I easily learned, this company is like high school, they will protect their friends even if it means losing a brand partner. The higher ups will have random meeting to talk about the department & there’s specific higher ups who feel the need to show off their Disney trips/cruises while some of us are struggling to even keep up with bills and living paycheck to paycheck. Overall, there’s A LOT of broken promises on growth. Pay sucks and it’s hard to get a pay raise. Any concern you bring to a higher up will leave you ignored or they won’t do anything about it. Your career won’t grow here unless you’re BFFs with higher ups that have been there forever.
