Pros

Nice office space, well stocked refrigerators

Cons

Are you a low performing millennial who thinks everything you do you should be rewarded and never criticized? Are you a starving actor/stand-up comedian whose spouse has finally said, "Get a real job or I'm leaving you"? Do you have ambitions that aspire to nothing greater than showing up 9:30ish and leaving at 5pm on the dot? Are you more worried about the feelings of other people than about actually accomplishing any real work? Well congratulations have we got an employer for you! Welcome to cleverbridge, where you will never work very hard because no one is held accountable because it might hurt their feelings to be told they're not doing a good job, where most of the management is thoroughly incompetent and so lacking in self-awareness and conflict averse that they cannot resolve any issues they have in running the business, and having certain members of leadership missing in action for 6+ months doesn't help. And don't forget you'll have the fun of dealing with your German colleagues who are on holiday for 1-2 days a week every other week who then add on their own holiday time for long weekends, and so if you have to work with them, well, good luck ever getting anything accomplished. But what really matters at this failing company is that you understand each other's emotions, personalities and behaviors through CONSTANT reminding about the company's VALUES (which most do not begin to practice) or about what "color" you are because, you know, if you know that then you are truly set up for success in life despite learning NOTHING about your actual field while working here.

Pros

Getting harder to find pros each day. Most folks work here because they have to, and not out of any desire to.

Cons

This company under-pays, under-supports, and under-delivers. Private equity has strip-mined it down to the studs all while offering carrots on a stick. At this point there is no carrot, you're just hit with a stick. The company is so understaffed that employees are pitted against eachother and scapegoated for failures caused by executive leadership/private equity. If you take time off, you're essentially punished for it - you will not be covered, and will come back to a dumpster fire of a backlog. Leadership talks out of both sides of their mouth. We're somehow doing amazing year over year, but we're also too broke to hand out reasonable compensation or equity in the company, which should give you an idea of where the money is actually going. AI has been embraced, eliminating entry level jobs and while simultaneously lowering the quality of service delivered to customers and clients. Don't waste your time applying here unless you're desperate for money or love a chaotic situation.
