Pros

Some really good people and the TAM is huge. Always stuff to do and customers to talk to.

Cons

I’m normally not a fan of posting things on Glassdoor or putting stock in what’s written about a company. It’s normally from people that got fired, let go or had something happen within their specific team. But I’m posting this hoping it will save someone the trouble of coming here. A lot of us joined getting sold the dream about this company. The reality is that if you join as a sales rep, you’ll primarily be working a ton of small, transaction deals. The problem we are solving is generally fairly small and it’s difficult to find any significant business pain that any exec would care about. As a seller, you’ll be forced to spend most of your time trying to support customers or working for renewals and not getting comped for it. The irony of the ClickUp is that the tool is suppose to improve collaboration and productivity and yet this is the most inefficient and least collaborative company I’ve ever seen. Exec management constantly changes direction. We’re PLG and SMB focused one day then the next we want to go up-market. Then 2 weeks later it’s back to PLG. As a result, middle management is constantly changing directions as well and generally is overbearing. Likely because everyone is trying to justify their own existence as the company is constantly churning people. The company is way too focused on an IPO and cutting expenses at all cost. This is hurting the product, customer satisfaction and the ability to keep the top of funnel coming. Total lack of transparency within the company as well. They keep insisting no more layoffs will happen but I would be reluctant to believe that if you’re looking to join the company. Steer clear at all costs.

Pros

Base salary compensation is good. There are some good perks and benefits. There are some smart people The product has some traction. plenty of funds to survive this economic environment. No work/life balance

Cons

Complete lack of leadership or strategy in engineering. This could be coming from product and business (since I don't have visibility into how it gets pushed down) but not sure. Low standard hiring loop and interview process. You will be thrown into the fire and won't be set up for success. Figure it out on your own. No coordination or strategy from upper management. Monolithic architecture makes scaling hard. The product has tons of bugs and customer complaints and the organization has no patience or focus to solve the quality problems. Infrastructure is complex, poorly designed, and hard to manage. The infrastructure is not in code and therefore hard to replicate. performance problems galore.

Pros

You can work from home.

Cons

Low pay, long hours with required weekend shifts, clueless managers, too many unnecessary meetings, very poor training, ridiculous expectations to learn the platform on your own time and read the Slight Edge. Feels like working in a sweatshop and I would not recommend this job to anyone!

Thank you for taking the time to share your insight. It's disappointing to know your experience was not what we are striving for here at ClickUp. We are always listening to employee feedback and have invested in new training and onboarding experiences this year. In addition, we no longer require mandatory overtime in Customer Support. Our leadership team listened to our employee feedback and made this change so that our team can enjoy a more constant work-life balance.
