Clearlink reviews

The situation at the company has gone downhill since the takeover of Clarke Capital Partners. They have poor communication, no transparency, and make a lot of grandiose statements and promises they don't keep. The CEO is behind the times and out of touch with employees' needs. The past year has been very chaotic with a mass exodus of employees, layoffs, and now an extreme and poorly-executed shift in policy surrounding work-from-home and remote hiring. Leadership failed to anticipate the effect that a nationwide recession would have on its business, and instead of taking responsibility for its poor planning and bad investments (i.e., a giant new office building that nobody asked for), it's trying to blame employees and punish us by taking away benefits and perks.

The return-to-office mandate is unethical on so many levels, but the way the CEO handled questions and concerns was despicable. I have never witnessed anything more unprofessional or uncalled for in my entire career as the CEO of a major company telling his employees that their concerns about transportation, childcare, and mental health are "nonsense". James Clarke claims to be a champion of single mothers while ignoring that this move would disproportionately affect them, along with countless others who have disabilities, families to care for, and responsibilities that drove them to look for remote work in the first place. Much of the company was hired under the remote-first mantra from Clearlink, many of the company still is remote as they live outside the 50-mile radius from the new headquarters, but the CEO made it abundantly clear that he has no respect and in fact incredible disdain for anyone who chooses or needs to work from home. Avoid this company at all costs, it's a sinking ship.
