Pros
For some people, a pro would be the beautiful, amenity-filled office space if you are a person who likes to work in an open environment office
Cons
I am sorry to say that I have to share a bleak and sorrowful review of a company that was once admirable, Clearlink. It is hard to believe that the organization I once adored is now a dismal, lifeless shell of its former self. The company's values, Create Community, Learn & Grow, Embrace Opportunity, Act Like an Owner, and Respect Every Person, have been thrown away, and their significance has vanished. During the pandemic, Clearlink went "remote-first" and hired a quarter of their workforce out-of-state. But in a twisted turn of events, their new CEO has now mandated that employees within 50 miles of the office come in from 8:30-4:30, Monday through Thursday, with just one WFH Friday. He claims that remote workers are "lazy" while ignoring the fact that their survey shows that ~85% of employees want to work remotely. This decision shows that the CEO does not care about the employees' opinions or work-life balance. Clearlink used to offer extensive learning opportunities, but they let go of the learning and development team leadership in the layoffs, indicating that those opportunities will soon be a thing of the past. The CEO's decision to monitor every employee's work and the toxic culture of gossip and rumors that run through high-level leadership are a recipe for disaster. What's worse, the company's DEI program, once a source of pride, is now on life support. The CEO talks about inclusivity as if it's an inconvenience, and he feels picked on because people aren't inclusive of him and his religion, even though he's a white, cisgender, millionaire member of the LDS church in Utah. Listening to him speak during a town hall felt like attending an LDS conference. The whole thing was preachy and uncomfortable. In summary, Clearlink's current leadership has transformed a once-vibrant company into a grim and oppressive place. The CEO's lack of trust, work-life balance, and care for people is turning Clearlink into a strange culty dictatorship. If you want to maintain your sanity and dignity, I suggest staying far away from this company.
