Pros
I joined Clutter as a customer service specialist for a summer, before leaving for a salaried role in product. I was working in operations not product. - Startup culture. everyone is young, super hardworking, things move fast, and people’s positions definitely shifted + you could wear different hats if there was need, like help out in different departments such as claims or dispatch - Free catered lunches and kitchen snacks was super nice - Learned a lot about problem-solving on the spot - A good place to get your feet wet if you're starting your career
Cons
- High turnover rate. People were fired all the time, which gave me the sense that there was a hire big and fast, natural selection kind of culture - Amazon culture. 3 strikes to be terminated - people were docked for being 1 minute late, and your lunch had to be exactly 30 minutes. It was honestly stressful, way more intense than I’ve ever experienced. - Little room for career advancement. if you’re hoping to advance your career in product and tech, this position is not it. there was a very clear divide - where there was even 2 offices. A few were able to become a project manager but only after staying many, many years - you’re better off at other companies that’ll get you there faster - Unstable. Type of role will be automated and replaced in x years; plus, with layoffs, you’d probably be aimed first
