Pros

Honestly, the Platform is amazing. The concept and the idea is brilliant. Zeb is for sure revolutionizing the arena. Benefits and perks are amazing.

Cons

As a relatively new startup, as a company with a defined, youthful culture such as ClickUp is, it would be one with fresh, new ideas, cooperative collaboration, innovation, and strong excitement and incentive to become a leader in its field of operation. It should be a company that is open, friendly, imaginative and explorative. But sadly, in my view, it has become quite the opposite in a number of ways. There is a great deal of fear being generated by this one individual who is in a place of highest authority within the company. This fear as described below is creating a sense of low morale throughout the company and that in turn will undermine the productivity of the organization. Why? People are fearful of expressing their educated opinions, their fact based conclusions and proof that supports those conclusions of why a great outcome would ensue had their perspective been utilized. They fear that they will be turned away in a condescending fashion and therefore why even bother to bring their ideas to the table, especially when asked to do so. This leads to low morale. And we all know that low morale is not supportive of a healthy company.

Pros

CU had great benefits, including healthcare and ways to give back.

Cons

Buckle-up! This is a ride I would never recommend to even my worst enemy. CU was hands-down the worst employee experience I have ever had. From day one, there were unrealistic expectations placed on management and our teams that could never actually work. When you didn't agree with the business decisions that were demanded of your team, it would end in raised voices and you'd fear for your employment (yes it's true, people would be here one day and gone the next. They have no mercy if you disagree). Decisions at CU are made out of the pure emotion of the very inexperienced CBO (what even is that?), not based off of data like they claim. If a team doesn't like what they're doing, and they're in the right inner circle, then they just pass it off to another team so they don't have to deal with it anymore. There are about 3-4 teams doing the same work as each other which causes extreme confusion and makes getting anything done next to impossible. This place is TOXIC. Ever heard of the early days of Uber? CU is Uber 2.0 in regards to toxicity. In every meeting, someone would get thrown under the bus and if you spoke up, you'd fear for your job. In meetings with upper leadership (SVPs, CBOs), I was asked to share the problems with my leaders under the guise of helping them improve. It was to build a case to fire them, along with so many others. I should have never accepted to work at CU after talking to the CBO, Tommy. He has no place being in a position like this but is because he's Zeb's best friend. He is a glorified closer and recruiter but does not know how to successfully run most of the departments under his umbrella. He runs his teams based off of books read, rather than listening to the experienced leaders he somehow convinces to work at CU. You should know just by their website that they will expect blood, sweat, tears and all of your time. Don't even think about having extracurricular hobbies or interests, you will not have the energy to do them after working 10-12 hour days. Take my advice and look elsewhere for a job. This is not the rocket ship you want to be on.

Pros

The team they had worked really well together. They have good benefits and rewards. The product is respectable and they do claim an inclusive culture

Cons

They lie to their employees and they are not transparent with the customers. Especially about product release dates and they do not guide their employees on how to handle hard questions from customers when their public promises are not delievered. There is no transparency between management and their teams. It took a ton of feedback from teams to even get updates on when we would be switching SOPs because they would make all these sudden changes and not explain why or when it would be happening. They will push more and more from you until you've suddenly been laid off for cheaper labor and they brag about the cheap labor in the company meetings. It truly feels like if they can replace you with a very low wage worker in another country they will no matter how high up in the company you are or how well you have performed. The people who are still here are so scared to loose their jobs at any moment. There is no way to predict if you will have this job for long if you are hired. I've also watched many of my black sisters struggle to be taken seriously and paid properly. Also some in management will always have something to say if you come to them with candid feedback. It seems you have to be of a certain pay grade for that and they really aren't interested in hearing boots on the ground reports.
