Pros

+The people really make Clever-- hiring is taken really seriously to make sure we're getting people who are excited about the mission, the role, our culture... It's a diverse crew, but we all share a passion for our jobs. I am always happy about going to work. +Benefits and perks are great, competitive even in SF + Start-up vibe means everyone is willing to jump in all the time; great to see things really getting done vs. a company where small changes seem to take forever to go through the right channels + Everyone is encouraged to question the company, certain decisions, industry norms.... it's refreshing! + Did I mention how great the people are?

Cons

- start up = limited room for actual career dev/promotions-- you'll grow a crazy amount, but it might not be reflected on a resume - Sometimes wearing a hat for too long means that job accidentally becomes yours-- working here means learning to balance "sure I'll help!" and "maybe there is a better solution."
