Pros

- Office was stocked with snacks and drinks, lunch provided once a week. - Still a somewhat small company, so there’s opportunity for growth if you're willing to center your life around the job and company. - You'll learn a lot because you'll have to.

Cons

- ZERO work-life balance, this place is a sweatshop. Forget about family, friends, or free time if you work here. - Frequent 14-16 hour days, 6-7 days a week. - Bare minimum benefits and PTO. - Expectation to work and respond to Slack messages, emails, and tasks even while out sick or on vacation. - High turnover due to burnout, unrealistic workloads, and generally poor organizational leadership. - Unorganized and impulsive environment that's often counterproductive and frustrating to work in. - Take the other 1-3 star reviews seriously, they're not exaggerating.

We're very appreciative of your feedback and it's disappointing to know your experience was not reflective of what we are building here at ClickUp. We are constantly looking for ways to improve our employee experience. For example, we now offer a flexible PTO program, a very competitive (and recently revamped) benefits package, and 401(k) options. We appreciate all that you have accomplished at ClickUp, and wish you the best on your next professional journey!

Pros

Company moves very fast and is always publishing new features. Employee stock options seem promising, but still unclear if and when it will go public. A lot of opportunities to use AI in documentation workflows and pioneer AI use with Help Center function,

Cons

Very poor documentation from product team. Help Center team has been filling in the gaps in their processes, but is largely uncredited for this work. Large disconnect with leadership expectations on delivering extremely high quality content while also doing it automatically with AI. This is compounded with AI products delivered by the company still are very unreliable and deliver low quality content.
