Pros

Really great, unusual technology. Really great benefits, good insurance, generous vacation policy. People overall are very friendly. Collaborative atmosphere, overall. Room to grow. Within limits, people can and do take initiative to make the company better. Privately owned by senior management, who are very forward-looking. They are more focused on long-term strategy than quarter by quarter performance. If you've suffered through being in a publicly traded or hedge fund owned company, you'll recognize this as a godsend. Company is growing like mad, new opportunities open up all the time. If you live in Queens or Long Island, you're commute will be much, much easier.

Cons

Very old fashioned company. Senior management known to do "bed checks" i.e. make sure no one has left early or arrived late. Even though the technology it sells is innovative, the software, systems, and business processes are way behind the curve, resulting in a lot of chaos and process waste. For example, even though CD is a project management driven organization, there's no company-wide project management software. In some ways, they try to run things like they are still a company with a dozen employees, but they're at 500 and going up. Like a lot of surburban-based companies, they pay less than their urban counterparts.

We are disappointed to hear your concerns, and would welcome the opportunity to speak to you about them. After spending so much time with Clever Devices (3 years as per your comments) it is disappointing to hear you were dissatisfied with your tenure here. Please feel free to contact the HR team if there are specific concerns you have, or specific examples you would like to discuss.
