Pros: The two most appealing parts about working for Clio are how integral a learning mindset is to the culture, and how empowered you are to make a difference. The two really go hand in hand. At Clio, you are always working on difficult and interesting problems. You are given a lot of flexibility in how you solve those problems, with the caveat that "good enough" solutions need not apply. What makes that so appealing is that absolutely everyone you work with is incredibly smart and is in every way willing to help you learn. The collaborative learning culture creates really positive feedback loops where everyone feels like they can constructively contribute. As a remote employee, I also feel that Clio does an excellent job supporting their remote teams. The Employee Experience team works hard to ensure that remotes feel included in company events, and the product team has a long history of remote workers, so the tools and attitudes are already in place to facilitate that.

Cons: Clio has almost doubled in size since I started, and there are sometimes the growing pains that come with rapid growth. Most of this comes down to policy and execution (whether that's too much, or too little), rather than a lack of desire to see things done well. The positive is that when mistakes are made, they are owned, and improvement does happen.

Pros: The culture is phenomenal. And I get to work with some of the smartest people in the industry.

Cons: A lot of pressure before ClioCon, but I guess it is what it is.

Pros: The business is well run fiscally. This can be seen by, to date, no layoff rounds and incredibly healthy financial metrics. There is a large amount of autonomy if you build trust with leadership that you can produce the right impact. People actually care. They care about the quality of their work, and they care about their colleagues.

Cons: The company continues to grow and get wealthier. This is seen in initiatives like sponsoring the Canucks and bringing the whole company together for a company-wide all-hands. But this simply isn't being reflected in investments that would make the day-to-day lives of employees better. Right now, the benefits package at Clio has not seen a major revision in several years. While we can and should continue to focus on flashy, public-facing expenditures, it would be really reassuring to see some of this money reinvested directly back into doing simple improvements for the people actually making this company so successful.
