A company that nails a "product and people first" mindset
Pros
The people are truly the best part of ClickUp. They are empathetic, passionate, incredibly talented, and always willing to help each other. There is no "not my job" energy, and it's infectious. The culture is intentional and values-driven. “Don't be normal," “embrace hard work, do hard things," and "grow 1% everyday" aren’t just flashy slogans. They are lived out every day, in every way! Remote-first without losing the sense of connection. Great investment in async collaboration and cross-functional communication. Using the tool itself, which is built for companies like this, makes it so much easier. Leadership is transparent, approachable, and genuinely committed to employee growth and well-being. They want you as an individual to find success, not just as an employee. You feel empowered to make an impact, regardless of your title or location. There is always space to be heard and to drive change. ClickUp rewards those who challenge the status quo and push the boundaries. Exceptional opportunities to work on exciting cross-functional projects, influence processes, and build something meaningful that you can be proud of. Everyone at ClickUp believes in ClickUp. Both its current and future state. Benefits and pay are competitive, and the company prioritizes flexibility and autonomy. They want the best work and will invest in the right talent and people to get it. You will be rewarded and feel valued if you put in the hard work. I’m still learning and growing four years in, but I'm mostly just grateful to be here every day!
Cons
Even though ClickUp does a great job of keeping people connected online, as a remote employee, I do wish there were more opportunities to meet my teammates and coworkers in person. While the virtual culture is strong, occasional in-person connections would be a great supplement. This is likely just based on the department, however, as plenty of other teams do meetups both on and off site, I am just not generally one of them. A nice gesture for remote employees of any company could be a voluntary visit to HQ once a year simply to be in the office and work. There doesn't always have to be an agenda. Like many fast-growing startups, things can move quickly, which is exciting but requires a level of adaptability and self-direction. There are a lot of changes. Sometimes, a lot of changes happen in one day, and it can be difficult to manage and compartmentalize, especially if you're on the ground level with the product and interface with clients.
