CLEAR reviews

No training on how to value employees for management No checks and balances when it comes to employee/management relationships management is difficult to work with. Not really looking to making employees feel valued and appreciated for what employees DO accomplish vs what isnt getting done.

Down sides, of which there are plenty, include: Erratic and dictatorial leadership who create an underlying tension in the office (office is noticeably more calm when certain people at the top are out). Constant pressure to rush things into production that aren't ready. Lack of benefits, expensive medical (especially for those with families), no retirement, no equity for most employees, little to no communication by largely invisible HR folks, rigid work schedule which is atypical of most NYC tech companies. Open office environment which is loud, distracting and antithetical to productivity, especially for the concentration needed by developers. There is a sense that many people here are just biding their time until they either put in enough resume time, they get another offer or get fired.
