Pros

Individuals and teams within the organization are all great & welcoming, employees are clearly focused on DEI and helping each other no matter what the problem is

Cons

The return-to-office mandate is unethical on so many levels, but the way the CEO handled questions and concerns was despicable. I have never witnessed anything more unprofessional or uncalled for in my entire career as the CEO of a major company telling his employees that their concerns about transportation, childcare, and mental health are "nonsense". James Clarke claims to be a champion of single mothers while ignoring that this move would disproportionately affect them, along with countless others who have disabilities, families to care for, and responsibilities that drove them to look for remote work in the first place. Much of the company was hired under the remote-first mantra from Clearlink, many of the company still is remote as they live outside the 50-mile radius from the new headquarters, but the CEO made it abundantly clear that he has no respect and in fact incredible disdain for anyone who chooses or needs to work from home. Avoid this company at all costs, it's a sinking ship.

Pros

Cons

Clearlink went from a CEO that didn’t give a single care about the employees to new leadership that seems to care now but with that, I feel like the new people aren’t aware of what’s really going on. When you’re hired here, boy, do they sell you the dream! Everything is good, and slowly you start to lose hope & very quickly you learn this company is going downhill one way or another. I was part of the social team for years. We were promised growth and new opportunities and that NEVER happened. We’d bring up concerns about leadership in our individual team and the concerns were NEVER taken seriously, because as I easily learned, this company is like high school, they will protect their friends even if it means losing a brand partner. The higher ups will have random meeting to talk about the department & there’s specific higher ups who feel the need to show off their Disney trips/cruises while some of us are struggling to even keep up with bills and living paycheck to paycheck. Overall, there’s A LOT of broken promises on growth. Pay sucks and it’s hard to get a pay raise. Any concern you bring to a higher up will leave you ignored or they won’t do anything about it. Your career won’t grow here unless you’re BFFs with higher ups that have been there forever.
