Interesting place to work, but not a good experience.

Pros

At the time I joined the company was growing rapidly, but I believe it may have changed. Overall nice people and some of the upper management level folks were very helpful and supportive. The technology was very interesting more so than in other places where I worked.

Cons

There was a lack of training for my position. The only training I got was a few one hour sessions on the products. They bid on every piece work that came across their desk. Sometimes they and did not communicate whether or not they were bidding to others on the team. Some long late night hours where I sat around and did nothing since I was new. The office tended to be very noisy making it difficult to focus. It seemed all the folks I had to work with to get my job done were constantly swamped which made it very difficult for me to pin them down. I felt the management was very cheap especially when it came to the heating. One late night I was shivering since the heat had been turned down and could only warm up in my car. On a lesser note, the office was not within walking distance to stores, etc as I had been led to believe. Finally, it is not convenient to mass transit as driving the LIE everyday from Queens was not pleasant and then having to worry about finding a parking spot at night.

Zero training & unrealistic expectations

Pros

Pay is average or slightly above.

Cons

You will be hired based on your resume skills and told what job they need you for but then be tasked with something totally different and be expected to perform on a expert level with minimal or no guidance from management. Middle management will report to upper management on your daily work without correcting you and you won't ever know it. You will be quietly critiqued/complained to upper management on a daily basis and never know it until you are let go for reasons unknown. You will start out with minimal assistance then a week later be given double the task with no assistance.

Thank you for your comments. We respect everyone's opinion and value any feedback you can provide. It is disappointing to us to hear that after a 10 year career at Clever you have such negative comments. After such a long history with an employer, we would have hoped your experiences would have been positive, and if you had issues you would have been open with the HR team so we could have helped resolve your concerns. I would like to invite you to reach out to us in HR (confidentially) to discuss some of the concerns that cause you to depart after 10 years. We have received great feedback on our culture over the past few years, but are always looking for ways to improve, and it seems like your contributions in this area would be helpful.
