Pros

The developers have a great attitude create a comfortable environment. The engineering managers (sub-VP level) are absolutely amazing at career development. Every opinion matters on improvements to the codebase and are welcomed.

Cons

Multiple rounds of layoffs. ClockShark was acquired ~2 years ago, so there is a lot of uncertainty with job security. The new CEO of the parent company frequently consolidates positions. Product team will focus on features that have little/no impact (i.e. updating/rewriting a functional integration that has very few users - creating a new integration/feature with no plan to bring in new customers with it)

Pros

A few well-meaning and talented folks here and there.

Cons

Cliff Mitchell has not been CEO for almost four years. No stability or real career trajectory less you're in the good ole' boys club. The product itself is okay but still stuck in the early 2020s; most of the competition now offers more for less. Little room for innovation, necessary changes and ideas for the product get scrapped because "this is the way it's always been done". Implementation of AI is mainly for show. Bad changes with parent company. Previous ELT were all friends who followed each other, came in, made poor decisions that affected everyone, and are now gone with new ELT continuing drastic changes. If you're still at ClockShark, your mobility is really limited. If you're part of said club and get to move to Simpro, you worry about being next on the chopping block. What are we doing here?
