Pros

Snacks. *Some* great people (but you can find that just about anywhere). Free alcohol. Somewhat relaxed environment (until it's crunch time). Work from home one day a week.

Cons

Don't fall for the trap. No, I'm not a disgruntled employee, but I'm also not a doting cheerleader like several of the positive reviews (especially recent ones). I'll keep this brief. - Over promising and under delivering, both to its own people and to clients... but especially to its own people. The general lack of honesty shows a lack of caring for your people. Don't give people the runaround, or make promises you can't deliver on. - There is absolutely a "good Ole boys" club, and each person in that group has a some cheerleaders/groupies. Much like the people of North Korea, they don't even realize that their glorious leader is their own oppressor. - Communication is lacking, and what *little* (seriously I can't emphasize little enough) process there is goes out the window if a client sneezes. So if you're a client of Clearleap, seriously keep poking the hive. It will wring honey out of the cold dead corpses of its workers if it means you'll be happy. - HR doesn't do much or really get involved other than onboarding, or to reply to negative Glassdoor reviews (oh also if anyone important is coming around the office they have to go yell at people). Much like Ranger Smith should put down Yogi for not being afraid of humans, they should be cutting off the usual HR problems BEFORE they start stealing the pickanick baskets! - Doesn't pay terribly well, and overtime is expected (and not really appreciated). There's another North Korea reference in there somewhere. - A large portion of management is out of touch. They've lost the human element, and care more for their bonuses that only they get. - Due to most of the above, morale is waning. People are being worn down. And (here it comes) much like North Korea, the beatings will continue until morale improves. TL;DR- There is a sweet facade over a sour interior. Don't fall for it. The company doesn't really value its people... just how much it can squeeze out of them for as little money as possible (yes that's a lot of companies, but they're generally more humane about it).

Pros

Good for people who donot prefer progressing in their careers. Not passionate about learning new technologies. Prefer surrounded with drunkers and cheap mentality co-workers. All you can learn is to cheat, lie, discriminate, slavery, backbitting, abusing etc etc in Cleraleap under idiotic managers

Cons

Highly Unprofessional, Disorganized environment. Hiring interview panel and managers are non-technical and therefore they hire freshers and work on the cheap, old version of the softwares mostly open source tools, to save few bucks for their beers, free food other alcohol beverages. Employees are discriminated, Management is biased, partial and manipulative. The company is totally dependent on the 3rd party vendors for every small thing. Employees are pushed to work every weekends and until atleast midnight on the weekdays including federal holidays. Management will never keep their promises for bonus, perks etc. Biggest Liars and Backbitters. The company looks like bar or club, employees drink alcohols during normal business hours, meetings, running around bare footed, play all day along, Company fails to meet the release deadlines therefore. People have right to abuse anyone. Managers and Management overlook these kinds of unethical behavior. Managers and Management lie about others designations, salaries and every small things. Must say they are very good at manipulating things. It was a ridiculous experience. Thank God! I'm out of this nonsense. Its definitely not worth to join this self claim fake company. BEWARE!!!!

Pros

Free snacks and drinks while you are there and good health care

Cons

It is clear the only thing Clearleap is interested in doing is selling off the company asap. Most of the staff is either recently out of school or from the CEO's former company - very few fall in-between. Expect a clique environment from that!! I have no doubt most of the reviews come from the good old boy club here. Someone I worked with left her full time position to join us. They let her go within months claiming they no longer have a need for the role she was just hired for! That is just one of many examples I have because the management is sneaky and will lie to your face. HR is useless when you go to them for help.They clearly do not care about people. They sell themselves as one of the best companies out there but I found out first hand they are the worst!

Clearleap takes all feedback seriously and works hard to maintain open communication between our employees and management team. While we recruit from a variety of sources, we pride ourselves on our referral system and are proud that to say that over 55% of our hires come directly from employee referrals! And while no company is the right fit for everyone, Clearleap is happy to say that our employees tend to stay at Clearleap. Our voluntary turnover rate is under 5%, quite low compared to an industry standard of 9.8%.
