Pros
I truly enjoyed the work when I first started at Clio, and received mentorship from a senior team member that helped me grow my professional skills (which I'm thankful for). The team hires talented people, for the most part. People with strong technical skills who are willing to put in the work and perform at a high level. Benefits were pretty good, you get a large spending account for therapy (which you'll 100% need) and a home office setup.
Cons
As the team grew, there were lots of growing pains, and it didn't help that majority of senior leadership were OG team members who had not upgraded their skills in years, and don't have a good grasp of how marketing works in the real world. They would make decisions that went against basic content best practices. The team is also highly disorganized and have an inability to prioritize the highest-impact projects. It quickly became a toxic environment that rewarded the people who were willing to maintain the status quo at all costs (and lacked technical skills to produce good work). Instead, those who used their analytical skills to bring up critical questions aimed at improving the content program were gaslit into believing they weren't performing at a level that was required — when in reality, they simply weren't 100% "yes people". There were leader(s) who would take any differing opinion or viewpoint as a personal attack — which was extremely unprofessional. You have to fight tooth and nail for the slightest salary increase or promotion — even the best performers. Burnout was common. Micromanagement was also an issue. DEI was performative at best. Exec leaders were extremely out of touch and would flaunt their fancy homes/vacations during Townhall after layoffs. By the way, there were never mass layoffs during my time there, but shadow layoffs were common. People would disappear slowly over time with no explanation.
