Pros

The people at Cludo are amazing and super talented. I always felt welcomed, cared about, and heard. The pay was decent and it was always an open conversation to discuss it, even if a raise wasn't given. There was a healthy amount of investing in the people there, especially related to benefits offered. Transparency around most things was extremely high, with leadership always being open to questions, even those that might be hard to answer.

Cons

There is a noticeable shift towards a mindset that I think may do more harm than good, which is profit at all costs. I believe this comes from the top, where a return on investment is expected soon, and trickles down. Based on my experience and hearing from others, this is causing higher levels of stress, anxiety, and lack of security. The company has moved from a growth mindset to a cost cutting mindset, and I don't see that being a long-term solution. Either need an influx of cash flow, or a change of strategy. Sometimes, to make money you need to spend it first. Also, the cowardice in how terminations are being handled is dragging things down immensely. Very abrupt announcements, with little information shared, especially to the person actually leaving, is breaking trust. People are on edge and I foresee this continuing, which is unfortunate.

We appreciate you sharing your perspectives. Each employee situation is unique of course, and as a fast-growing business - financially and in terms of developing our team - we sometimes need to make tough choices. As we continue hiring and growing, we’ll continue to apply what we learn to make this a great place to grow, learn, and work together.

Pros

The changes that have been made in the past 18 months have really accelerated Cludo both from an organizational and product perspective! New leadership team is very engaged, and engaging all levels of the organization, not micromanagey at all very caring. Very open environment, I feel comfortable candidly approaching our highest level executives with concerns or recommendations.

Cons

Cludo's in scale up mode so, if you are not comfortable with quickly switching priorities or running small experiments to test, validate and change direction this may seem fast paced. Cludo's a smaller organization so, upward mobility at the moment is a little constricted but, I don't see this being the case for much longer with all the momentum that has been gained

What a thoughtful and detailed review of your time so far at Cludo! I really appreciate that. It is nice to hear that some of the recent changes have made a positive impact, not only with our product, but also the culture around things like openness, executive presence, etc. I can confidently say that many enjoy these aspects of Cludo and we want to see those not only continue, but improve over time. Speaking of improving, I enjoyed reading your honest feedback about our pace as a company and career mobility, at least currently. We are currently working on how to help every Cludian grow and, when the time comes, would love to hear your feedback on that approach. If you want to provide more feedback/context, please let your manager know.

Pros

The culture is fun and coworkers are generally caring. The company understands that you are a human above all else and offers a good work-life balance. The product area is pretty interesting and you can get exposure to some cool tech,

Cons

There is so much going on with the product that the product and development teams seem spread thin and sometimes quality suffers. Meanwhile, there's a lack of transparency into 'why' so many of these product decisions are made which is unconducive to a collective understanding and motivation to build, support, and sell the product. Could use more focus and transparency in this regard.

Thank you for leaving a review about your time spent at Cludo so far! It always makes me happy to hear positive remarks about our culture, people, work-life balance, and product. I know these are important to everyone and we want to ensure we continue to see those be the best they can be (or even better). As great as positive feedback is, critical feedback is equally, if not more, valuable and is truly a gift. We certainly want to make sure that our quality doesn't suffer related to what is going on with product and development teams. Similarly, we value transparency and your feedback is appreciate in how we communicate about our product decisions. Thank you for this feedback to help us improve in those areas. I encourage you to continue to pass along feedback, questions, suggestions, etc. to your manager.
