Pros

Remote work gives you some reasonable flexibility and the individual contributors I met were absolutely fantastic people. They're about the only thing I'll miss from working at ClockShark.

Cons

ClockShark was the worst experience of my professional life. The CEO of the company is in way over his head and overcompensates by micromanaging. He's not interested in doing anything different than he's always done, then will blame his team for not seeing different results. He will continually ignore advice and suggestions from professionals, claiming that he knows more than them. He will not change his mind, even when presented with data showing that he is wrong. If you have other job opportunities, I would strongly recommend taking them.

ClockShark Response
4y
This review appears to be from an employee that was just let go for not being a good fit for the role they were hired for, and ensuing lack of performance. Micromanagement only occurs at ClockShark temporarily and when needed to bring an employee or function back on track because the basics of the function are not being performed well. If you are being micromanaged at ClockShark, it is most certainly because you are not performing your job well without the guidance. We've very infrequently needed to let people go for performance, but it happens. I always take responsibility for this as CEO, as it's indicative that we hired the wrong person for the job. So it's an opportunity for us to improve. As a high-performing culture, we have the expectation that our teammates will learn, grow, and perform at the top of their game, in a way that helps the team win. We believe winning is a team sport, and not everyone fits well into our culture. If you like performing high, and being coached and expected to do so, I welcome you to join our team of like-minded people that are excited about helping the company win, and come win through growth in your career and skillset as an individual. If you want to work somewhere that you'll be told your mediocre work and performance is great - or even acceptable - this is not the right environment. Please see other reviews for my approval rating as CEO. As CEO I grew the company from zero to what is is now, and I am more than well-equipped to take it through to the next stages. Please draw your own conclusions based on the overall performance of the company, recent investment and acquisition by simPRO and the company's continued growth.

Pros

Some great folks were coming into the mix. Especially on the product side.

Cons

A lot of folks shouldn't have been in the positions they were in. They sort of fell into them and didn't know what they were doing. Cliff Mitchel was a waste.
