Clio

The CEO is very genuine, and his style and values really permeate throughout the business. There's much more transparency than I've seen in other companies. Growth is required; you can't stagnate. The company invests a lot in its employees.

The company is growing to a size where character and culture are changing to be more corporate, diluted, and polished. This isn't necessarily the fault of Clio, but it's a shame because the culture was its biggest draw for those who saw it 1.5+ years ago.

The annual Clio-held conference (ClioCon) is a large amount of voluntary overtime, which only a few staff feel comfortable raising as a point of concern. It feels like you can be judged on whether or not you've represented Clio at ClioCon. Note: Not all positions are required to go to ClioCon.

The internal feedback forum for all staff was recently removed, and the ability to easily post anonymously. Now there is a moderation process before your post is visible, which has almost killed internal forum discussion. It feels very contradictory to Clio's "No Doors, Only Windows" value.

• Bring back SpeakUp, as you are losing trust amongst some employees. Don't make us view you as "them" over the difficult topics!

• Removing alcohol from the offices felt like the Fun Police. For sure, some folks don't drink and we want them to feel included, but what was the issue with people choosing to enjoy a drink at work? Don't get me wrong, it's not a biggie, but it feels like another way that Clio is being corporate-polished.

• Compensation has seemingly been placed on the shoulders of staff to raise with their bosses. The initiative aims to put staff in the driver's seat of their careers, but this doesn't really suit the quieter or less confident personalities who aren't gifted at asking for raises and selling their case. Heck, some people are just busy and forget to raise it over time.
