Pros

Colleagues are very friendly, everyone will get along with everyone else and have nice chats. Work life balance is pretty good and there is no expectation of much overtime. Your team will always look out for you. Good amount of vacation.

Cons

Salaries have become mediocre at best. Year on year the increases are disappointing, well below any inflation and general cost of living increases. A lot is spent on marketing, without much reward. Constant cost cutting results in added workload. Funny, because we are always told the business is doing better and better. Sometimes it feels like the upper management doesn’t listen at all. They ask for feedback on surveys, people reply with their issues (generally salary and pay increase based) and we get told “oh there wasn’t enough replies for good data”. No 13th month like many other companies offer. Smaller benefits seem to be constantly taken away. I’d like to add that I selected disapprove for the CEO, however, glass door still shows Jeroen Hanekamp as the CEO, this is no longer the case. I would give him a thumbs up. The current CEO, I do not approve of.

Pros

There are many really good people in the company. The mendix consultants are all really nice and knowledgeable. They run a lot of activities to make it a fun place to work. It's very progressive and inclusive.

Cons

The company say culture and values matter but they seem end where the balance sheet starts. It looks like the strategy jumps about a lot as people get bought in then fired or asked to leave quite quickly when the goals shift. I'd advise you get some clauses in your contract about what they are responsible for if they sack you cos I saw several people blindsided after joining with high hopes.

Pros

There is a wealth of Mendix knowledge available. Colleagues are eager to help, but this is not the credit of CLEVR, but rather the goodwill of the colleagues. You can learn a lot from them, which is very valuable. In your first year, you get a company car, which you cannot choose. After one year, you are allowed to choose a car. The budget depends on your job level, of course. It's 750, 850, or 1150. For 750, there are few choices nowadays, and you may have to contribute extra, making it quite expensive. Additionally, you can only choose from hybrid or electric cars. The fuel or charging card is very well arranged. You are also allowed to work from home a lot. Clients do not make a fuss about it. The clients are nice as well. However, I must say that few clients have been acquired in 2023 and 2024. This means it’s difficult to place you as a junior consultant with a client. There are many ethnicities and nationalities working there, and everyone gets along well. So, if this is important to you, you’ll be in a safe environment at CLEVR.

Cons

If you are indispensable and receive offers from other companies, CLEVR is willing to increase your salary competitively. Otherwise, they won’t. Every year, your name is entered into an Excel file, and a raise is calculated from there. It will not be more than 100-200 per year, unless you get a promotion, but otherwise, there is no room for negotiation. And believe me. 100 is not much. Your contract also includes a non-compete clause. Try to have it removed, as CLEVR often makes a big issue of it if you decide to leave.
