Pros

Company growing, stability and recession proof product

Cons

Questionable people in leadership that make you scratch your head as to why they’re even in that position - can tell the lack of competency in their quality of work and inability to actually manage their direct reports as they only care about making themselves look good. Leadership has become too ego inflated, super disconnected from IC’s workloads because things just need to get “done”. Promotion steps unclear, people will contribute less and get promoted by management but individuals who have become dependable, reliable, and deeply knowledgeable in processes don’t get rewarded, get overlooked and turned a blind eye to them. Pay structure is terrible, you can’t emphasize Clio is a 1 of 1 company while paying mediocre salaries where individuals reside in a high cost of living, people are genuinely living by the poverty line while having an insane amount of workload, it’s clearly not equitable and sustainable long term - tough to compete and retain actual top talent which has been evident due to high turnover in the last 8 months. That consequentially leads to a watered down culture that was good in the beginning but has fallen off a cliff.

Thank you for sharing your perspective after your many years with us. We’re glad you valued the stability of our product, but we hear your serious concerns regarding leadership, compensation, and the clarity of our promotion paths. Your feedback regarding management style and the employee experience has been shared directly with our leadership team. We're committed to addressing gaps like these where they exist, especially as the experience you've described doesn't reflect the culture or leadership standards we hold ourselves to. Compensation and career development are areas we actively invest in, including regular market benchmarking to keep pay competitive. We're transparent with our salary bands, as can be seen on our careers site. However, if there were specific gaps in how your contributions were recognized, we'd encourage you to connect with our People team directly — those are exactly the conversations we want to be having. We wish you well in what's next.
