Pros

Colleagues are generally helpful and respectful.

Cons

Senior/director level staff out of touch and don't understand the businesses they have bought. The membership services estate is in dire need of direction and support.

Pros

- Colleagues and their competences - Great opportunity (unfortunately wasted) to develop many products. Mainly competent and professional co-workers. The management team, at the half of my co-period - MESS AS ..#%*~{} Generally gr8 and nice atmosphere (if we talked about teammates). The management staff and their replacement in the middle of my "CC career" is a mistake!!! Whole place was crapped and going to the negative direction.

Cons

- Incompetence of management in the second cooperation period - Lack of time tracking and blaming this obligation on lower-level employees (pathetic, no comment) - Lack of development opportunities in terms of working conditions and salary (mainly during the second period of cooperation).

Thanks for leaving us a review - we’re glad that you’ve got some positive experiences to share around having great colleagues (we think so too!) but sorry to hear about the latter half of your time with us. We’d love to better understand some of the experiences you talk about – so if you’re comfortable please do reach out to me directly and we can chat further - jbrain@clearcourse.co.uk.

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.
