Pros

Some of my co-workers are really smart. There is a high degree of work/life balance.

Cons

Not enough senior devs or accountability to make sure you are completing tasks or learning new skills. If you aren't extremely self motivated or perhaps new to the field in general, you can fall through the cracks. Each engineering manager is managing 20+ people so you can't get any sort of individualized attention, even if you ask directly for guidance. Some co-workers can abuse the lack of accountability to do basically nothing which makes it hard to work with certain people. Since being acquired by Fiserv, there has been a HUGE reduction in benefits. For example, instead of having a winter holiday party last year, they decided to have a conference called 'CloverCon' which was supposed to be in January, then March, then May before it was eventually cancelled. There are obvious reductions in the catered lunch, happy hours, the commuter program and bonuses/promotions. I would be very surprised if more benefits weren't removed in the coming year. Overall, would not recommend working here now unless you are simply interested in collecting a paycheck & not growing your career.

Thanks for taking the time to review. We agree there are a lot of smart people working here and glad you like the work/life balance. That being said, we hate to hear that you don't want to work here and wish we knew more about what is driving that. Transparency is important to us, however in some situations there are pieces that are shared with individuals vs the entire company. We are implementing a new organizational structure which might help with some of the issues you mentioned on accountability. We do hope however that our employees are self motivated to learn and develop their skills. We'd love to discuss some of your other points if you're interested please reach out to hr@clover.com.

Pros

Food at the office, lunches provided

Cons

Management seems to be lost, lots of managers and directors at this company that have no idea what leadership is or how to bring people together as a team.
