Pros

- Great people to work with - Prestige of working downtown - Exposure to investment accounting

Cons

- You will be expected to work 10 hours+ days every day for years and get no more pay or appreciation. - You sit at a chair all day and stare at your inbox fill up with hundreds of emails. It sucks to say the least. - About 80% of what you learn at clearwater will not transfer to other jobs. - There is no where to move up. They have structured the company so that there is only 1 boss and you will never get his job. There is so much turnover that 1 year after I started almost everybody that was there when I got there had left. - Clearwater attracts cheap, young, desperate college graduates and works them until they quit about a year to a year and half later. They realize they are worth more than what they are getting paid so they move on. - The company is growing and they are all excited to bring on new clients and they expect you to be excited too. Why would I excited to take on a heavier workload and get paid the same..... Im not. - The company has a downtown office but refuses to provide employee parking. People have to park 5-10 blocks away to get to work. The company could care less as long as the owners get to line their pockets with cash. - Overall if you want to work like a dog, have about 20% of your skills and knowledge from clearwater be transferable to the real world, and be paid the same regardless of the hard work you do then work for Clearwater.

The best work experience I've had to date

Pros

I've never worked for a company who has made me feel more valued. To me this is extremely important if not key to a long term career. It’s exciting to have the opportunity to work for a company that is turning heads, a company that offers that ideal work –life balance( in Boise, Idaho); and even more… a company that invests significantly in their employee’s success. There have been some comments made about our company that I would like to address, specifically about an elusive "inner circle". Yes, the founders of our company are members of a religious entity. Does this affect advancement or hiring in any way? No. In a company of over 250 employees, diversity has flourished. If this circle did exist, I definitely would not be included. However, from day one I have received nothing but encouragement and advancement in my career. Promotions are 100% merit based. Secondly, the interview process is intense. It is done so with the purpose of weeding out those who may not be right for the position. Clearwater culture is huge in my department and everyone has a hand in the hiring process. We believe that by doing so we are building upon our team dynamic in a positive way. At times it can be a tough, tiring job and it takes a very specific type of person to succeed. I know the degree of time and energy invested in the people we have here, and the benefits of preparing potential employees for a fun yet challenging adventure. Let me end by saying that an up-and-coming company like Clearwater Analytics starts out with an amazing product, which great employees will flock to, and the best will shine. I’m hoping to continue my career here for years to come.

Cons

I can not think of anything negative about working at Clearwater. My experience has been nothing but positive.
