      Pros

      There isn’t any pros anymore

      Cons

      We were a well-respected business before this company acquired us. Their only goal is to get all customers on their payment gateway, ClearAccept. They don't care that they are destroying customer's businesses and essentially, our business when all our customers cancel and move away. Redundancies are happening left, right, and centre. But a million managers are sitting in meetings about meetings while we're struggling to get staff who do work replaced. After talking to other CC-acquired companies, morale in all Clearcourse companies is abysmal. We feedback on how unhappy we are and it is either ignored or there are that many managers it has to go up to, it's lost in the ethers. Both options are dangerous. A lot of talented people are leaving and not being replaced. More notices are being handed in every week. Those who have left love the original company but are starting to realise that ClearCourse is destroying everything. If ClearCourse have acquired your employer and you're miserable, you can speak to literally anyone who is not in management and they'll feel the same. Get out sooner rather than later.

      We were sorry to hear about your experiences – and we’d really like to speak to you to find out more – as what you’ve described doesn’t match with other feedback we’ve received from people who have had (and are still having) a positive experience. Regarding ClearAccept we’d like to make explicitly clear that our ultimate goal is to help build great businesses – and our integrated payments solutions are just one of many tools we provide to do just that. We don’t force it on anyone. We would really like to hear your feedback in detail to understand your point of view, so please do send me an email and we can set up an informal chat - jbrain@clearcourse.co.uk.

      Pros

      I only had a 1 month notice period

      Cons

      - Sweatshop environment for SWEs, where you will be worked to the bone and micro-managed by people of low talent who know virtually nothing about engineering - Many staff are being forced to take on additional responsibilities without a pay rise - some are essentially running subsidiaries while earning 50% less than they should - Staff pressured into filling out internal feedback forms and posting positive reviews here on Glassdoor - Timesheets and little trust given to engineers - Fear-driven environment where you will be constantly made to feel afraid of losing your job - Aggression, bullying, and shouting, overall, a shockingly poor culture - Extremely low pay, with many employees earning up to 50% below the national average for their profession - 2 rounds of redundancies per year - Frequent re-orgs Only accept an offer from this company if you're desperate.

      First off – I’m very sorry to hear about your experience – especially the bit about shouting and bullying. That’s not something that we recognise, and not something we accept – so if you’re comfortable please do drop me an email and we can set up a chat as I’d really like to find out more. On your point about forcing people to leave give feedback and leave positive reviews – that’s just not something we do. We regularly provide to opportunity for people to share thoughts through engagement surveys and we do mention GlassDoor when people have feedback to share – but it is entirely optional. Please do drop me a line as I’d really like to better understand your experience so we can do something about it - jbrain@clearcourse.co.uk.

      Pros

      The business has changed a lot from when I started to now. There has been significant investment in the payments product to help ensure this is a product the businesses are able to embed payments. The changes in structure have also helped support more agility and focus on each business with more sense of ownership on the work and outcomes you drive. The addition of new businesses as well gives new opportunities to learn and develop skills. There are ways to progress however due to the flat nature of the business it is more likely to move sideways rather than up. The organisation focuses on paying for performance which means working hard does pay off. Extra time off at Christmas is a great addition to have in your holiday.

      Cons

      High expectations which can be difficult to meet. Pay reviews are slightly below the market.
