Pros
If you're inexperienced or have had a position as a manager for a long time somewhere else, have no idea how to do your job, and are very good at spouting corporate platitudes and having meetings, this place is for you. Come collect your paycheck while you do nothing and get promoted. Just make sure to tell the management above you that you agree with everything they're doing. This is a great place for someone who wants to get a position higher than their experience -- a lot higher, in some cases -- and figure out how to do your job later. The only problem being that if you actually do work, you'll find it heaped on you in loads. So be careful about how useful you make yourself. If you're inexperienced and want to be a PM, for example. It'd be a good idea to come in, get experience, get good, then get out. They pay well if you're a man, too. The people who do the work are good people who want to make a positive change in the world.
Cons
The company buys other companies, lets people quit or lays them off, and leans on the employees who are left to do the work of 3 or 4 people. The benefits get worse and worse every year. They laid people off at Christmas a few years ago, b/c they handled their money so badly. Then, they sneakily announced a no-vacation policy. "Vacation will be worked out between you and your manager." Meanwhile, the employee handbook says you accrue vacation. But you don't. It's bizarre. Their higher level management have been scraped from the absolute dregs of the barrel. These people are ruthless and stupid -- a dangerous combination if you work under them. The company does NOT recognize or reward hard work or success. Clearesult consistently pays women less than men, across the board. The companies that Clearesult bought used to have women in high positions. Now, this company does not. The women get made to feel uncomfortable until they graciously leave. The HR department has men in it who talk about women as if they are chattel. All the good reviews you see here on Glassdoor are written by the company for the company. The company puts out questionnaires asking the employees how they're doing, and they see how unhappy people are. But they don't change anything. I regret staying as long as I did. Look, just be aware of what you're getting into if you take the job. The place is toxic. But I meant what I wrote in the Pros. If you just need a place to get back into the job market, or to get a title higher than you probably should, and can just figure out how to do the job after, then this is a good place to get in. The thing is, don't let them know you're good. Because, no joke, they will pile the work on you. Just get by, learn what you need to learn, and get out. Except you lady directors and C-level women. If you're thinking, "I like a challenge." "I don't like negative people. I can beat this," you're setting yourself up for a long and painful disappointment. You'll get plenty of work no reward, no promotion, and a positive review with a garbage annual increase. Dig down into the reviews. The company has hired someone to add positive reviews and respond to others, where the HR department heads used to say, "No one reads Glassdoor reviews. People just go there to complain." After years of people coming here to tell the truth, and the company getting a terrible rating as a result, clearesult finally decided to start trying to clean up their image. But be very clear on this. It's the image they're trying to change. But they are NOT investing in or taking real steps toward a positive change in action. I can't wait to see the response to this. "We're sorry _you_ felt so let down by the company..." Notice, too, if you read back on their responses to negative reviews, that they manipulate the conversation to make it sound like the person who is giving an honest review about a toxic workplace is just maladjusted or has poor vision when it comes to corporate culture. It's all spin and lies. This company will suck you dry and throw you out, if you don't let yourself out first.
