Pros

I only had a 1 month notice period

Cons

- Sweatshop environment for SWEs, where you will be worked to the bone and micro-managed by people of low talent who know virtually nothing about engineering - Many staff are being forced to take on additional responsibilities without a pay rise - some are essentially running subsidiaries while earning 50% less than they should - Staff pressured into filling out internal feedback forms and posting positive reviews here on Glassdoor - Timesheets and little trust given to engineers - Fear-driven environment where you will be constantly made to feel afraid of losing your job - Aggression, bullying, and shouting, overall, a shockingly poor culture - Extremely low pay, with many employees earning up to 50% below the national average for their profession - 2 rounds of redundancies per year - Frequent re-orgs Only accept an offer from this company if you're desperate.

First off – I’m very sorry to hear about your experience – especially the bit about shouting and bullying. That’s not something that we recognise, and not something we accept – so if you’re comfortable please do drop me an email and we can set up a chat as I’d really like to find out more. On your point about forcing people to leave give feedback and leave positive reviews – that’s just not something we do. We regularly provide to opportunity for people to share thoughts through engagement surveys and we do mention GlassDoor when people have feedback to share – but it is entirely optional. Please do drop me a line as I’d really like to better understand your experience so we can do something about it - jbrain@clearcourse.co.uk.

Pros

I’ve worked at ClearCourse for a few years now and can honestly say it’s a positive place to work. Like any growing company it’s not perfect, but the leadership team are supportive and approachable and the people I work with are great :)

Cons

Nothing that I can think of.
