Pros
a lot of autonomy and flexibility
Kontras
You need to love working remotely with limited contact
Pros
Only consider taking the job if you are at early stages of your carreer, “flexible hours” BUT you absolutely have to work full 8 hours otherwise the app the company uses to track productivity identifies it as idle time and take screenshot of your screen - literally - every 5 minutes. Not including the CEO, the rest of the team is nice and super friendly.
Kontras
Crazy micromanagement from the CEO, I have never seen this before and when I tell stories to other colleagues in other companies, they are usually shocked. Management does not take feedback well and only listen to what it wants. Not much interaction with different departments and absolutely no onboarding and training provided. The CEO sends you a huge pdf document written by previous colleagues so you can read and figure it out by yourself. I would say stay here only for the time you need to help make your CV look stronger, but leave as soon as you can. Growth opportunities are also very limited.
Pros
- Great team: The team at Clovio is very welcoming and open to ideas and feedback. I felt right at home from the start. - Challenging projects: I was given the opportunity to work on a variety of challenging projects, which helped me learn a lot and grow as a professional. - Opportunities for growth: Clovio is a growing company, which means there are always opportunities for growth. I was able to take on more responsibility as my internship progressed.
Kontras
- Lack of documentation. Some of the useful figures aren't included in the extensive guide you receive before starting. I depended on other people to answer some of my questions which could have been avoided if I knew where those figures were available.
