Pros

***I'm only giving this review because it appears Sales leadership has gone in and made some reviews to drive up the score.*** The Clozd offering is good and is not the problem. When I first started, I loved the product and fully believed in the value. Going to work used to be fun, but the sales org is far from fun these days.

Cons

Attainment is low and so is the moral. I know and believe KPIs are an important metric to give guidance for reps, but their point and quadrant system is way misaligned with success. You have to get a minimum amount of activity points to stay there, but you need to overshoot the minimum to be labeled as "bought in". The reps get so tied up in satisfying and gaming this arbitrary number, that they lose sight on progressing deals and working toward the number that actually counts (Quota). You also can't give any sort of constructive criticism or you'll be labeled as negative and not "bought in", putting a target on your back. They have squandered some unreal talent because of this "fall in line" mentality.

Pros

Great team, fun culture, and very engaging work. You are directly contributing to client strategy and get to work directly with c-level contacts regularly with some of your customers

Cons

Complex role with a lot of moving parts. Like many CSM jobs it can be hard to influence outcomes with some difficult clients

Pros

They hire amazing people. I met the best and brightest people and worked alongside them.

Cons

The program management role at Clozd is incredibly challenging. The team's leadership is a significant pain point. The department is led by a micromanager whose approach relies more on fear than on building others up. While he is a genuinely wonderful person on a personal level, his lack of trust in his employees severely limits his ability to recognize and develop the greatness within his team. Also, the way the leadership handles employee transitions is highly concerning. Once an employee has run their course or decides to move on, they are treated like dead weight or outcasts. This lack of respect, combined with heavy workloads, high stress, and constant uncontrollable variables, has resulted in severe team burnout. The team's morale is significantly affected by the poor treatment of departing colleagues.
