Pros

THE PEOPLE! ClickUp is a company filled with some of the smartest minds out there. And somehow that's everyone at ClickUp's second best quality. The people here are so kind and generous. There hasn't been a single day where I've sat by myself at lunch or had an uncomfortably silent Zoom call because everyone is excited to be there and eager to make others feel welcome. ClickUp has cultivated the most motivating and efficient workplace I've ever experienced. I'm inspired everyday to work just as hard as the people grinding around me. Remember back in school how there was always one leader of the group project that carried the team? Somehow ClickUp has managed to find all those people and put them under one roof.

Cons

Everyone at ClickUp wants to be the best and wants ClickUp to succeed. Achieving that means hard work. We're in the growing pains stage like any hyper-growth tech company and it's not for everyone. But the risk is worth the reward. If you get excited about being an industry leader and working alongside other brilliant people then ClickUp is the place to be. Plus, they know how to take care of their people. The benefits are phenomenal!

Pros

Some smart, ambitious people who you can learn a lot from.

Cons

This place is an unstable, toxic mess, and leadership is largely to blame. The C-suite is full of egos and seems to make goals and quotas up out of thin air, then cleans up the fallout from poor planning and overhiring with layoffs. There have been three company-wide mass layoffs in less than four years, and that doesn’t even include the many layoffs that have happened quietly behind closed doors. The toxicity at the top trickles down through the entire organization. VPs put pressure on middle management, who then pass that pressure on to ICs. The company can’t seem to keep leaders in place for more than six months, which creates constant chaos and confusion. Strategies are always changing, priorities shift every few months, and nothing ever sticks long enough to make a real impact. Promotions seem to be based more on politics, favoritism, and who can make the most noise than on actual performance. The same people get promoted year after year, and many of them seem underqualified for the titles they hold. If you’re good at self-promotion and have the right relationships, you’ll probably do fine. If you’re quietly doing great work, don’t expect the same recognition. HR keeps saying they’re working on improving the promotion process, but I haven’t seen much change. If you’re considering joining the GTM org (especially the operational side) I would think twice. The new leadership loves to talk about transformation, improvements, and exciting changes, but there’s usually very little follow through behind the messaging.
