Pros

Some of the mid-management level are intelligent and earnest professionals, who are unfortunately let down by the lack of capable leadership.

Cons

The CEO is an individual with many obvious personal issues that prevent him from stepping up to lead the company in any meaningful way. In summary, he lacks empathy and is unable to understand his impact on the feelings of people working around him. He seems to completely lack the normal human capability of understanding how other people think or feel. He goes through the motions of acting in a leadership capacity but does not connect with his employees and no one sees him as a leader within the business. As a consequence, he comes across as cold, harsh and unpleasant to come into contact with, and is often disrespectful and rude. He’s fundamentally a dishonest person who does not care about or have a genuine interest in other people.

Pros

I joined Clippings because I had the ambition of changing an entire industry, and after meeting with both founders I realised Clippings and the founders' mindset was the right fit for me. The company itself is on a very exciting journey, and is on the right path for 'disrupting' an entire industry. It's gone from 30 employees to 100 employees in one year. The staff comes from all over the world, and every single one seems excited for the mission at hand. I also believe theres a genuine attitude in the office, that everyone cares about each other. In short - its a very nice place to go to work every day. The founders ambitions are sky-high, but without this mentality there is no way we'd succeed. They're sitting amongst us (when not travelling) and are easily approachable. In general there is lots to learn from both individuals and the compliment each other perfectly.

Cons

Working in such a fast growing start up can bring a level of dysfunction in processes etc. We struggle with some of our internal processes, but we're tackling them in a professional way.
