      Like a PR firm that happens to build software

      Software developer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      If you love to lose yourself in the world of make believe then drop yourself down this rabbit hole. The opportunity to have your flabber ever so gasted as you watch the PR machine never align with the reality of the SDLC. To experience how not to build software. To be hyper-agile. It's agile that defies explanation, credibility and reality. It's magic! To think you work at a PR firm that happens to build software is a unique experience. To have a job title that is mostly irrelevant to what you actually do is kinda cool, i suppose.

      Cons

      If things don't work out you'll likely end up on a performance plan. You will never meet the expectations of this plan. They will always move the goalposts. The performance plan ends when you resign. When a bad release happens (and they often do) you will be blamed for it. Yes, they play this petty game and it saps the life from you. Middle management and above take no responsibility for anything. Their poor planning, terrible communication skills and tech illiteracy are never a factor. Retrospectives are nothing but a show trial to continue the blame game. Management constantly lie. To staff and to clients. They spend so much time and effort creating the perception of a hot new tech consultancy that's got some secret sauce to make them a billion dollar company and a great place to work. It's all smoke and mirrors. You may wonder why they don't actually work towards creating this reality instead of always projecting the fantasy. You are expected to be online 24x7. It's not in your contract or the employee handbook. Instead, they take the peer pressure approach. They will let you know when you weren't contactable, will ask why you weren't replying to insane rantings at midnight on Teams, why you weren't fixing some trivial bug at 5am or on weekends. They will call this out in group emails or team meetings and humiliate you into submission. Your plea for work/life balance (which they openly promote) will be scoffed at and ignored. Everything is a loyalty test. The internal software platform doesn't make software delivery any better or faster. If the aim of this software was to make every aspect of the developer experience as bad as possible then it would be the best software ever. The forced use of this system only adds to the apathy, dejection and shame of your productive output.

      Thank you for taking the time to review Clear Dynamics. I'm sorry that you didn't have a great experience. Like all growing companies, and maybe also because of our innovative platform (not in the low code category) and way of working, we have had our fair share of celebratory and challenging times over the past 8 years. There have been a lot of learnings and will continue to be (we are a learning culture). For those exployees to chose to leave the company we offer an exit interview. Today, we provide weekly open loops for anonymous feedback with our pulse check. Every one-on-one is about seeking and exploring feedback both ways. Our CEO participates in our weekly One Team, and on behalf of the executive and management team, our door is always open and we are eager to hear from all corners of the company. We thank everyone who has been part of the Clear Dynamics story so far, including some who are no longer with our team, and we sincerely wish you well. We are in touch with many of our alumni and have even assisted them in their next chapter. Some have even returned to Clear Dynamics. We’re really proud of our award-winning diverse culture, our Great Place to Work recognition, and our endorsement by Work180, Digital Jobs Victoria… And by listening to our employees, we’re getting better all the time. For anyone considering joining our team, please use LinkedIn to contact our people directly and ask them about their experience working for one of Australia’s fastest growing global tech companies. We are also happy to facilitate a connection if that works better for you. We are always on the lookout for great people to join our team around Australia.

      Really toxic workplace.

      Software developer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Team is easy-going, salaries are high and company is stable due to ongoing investment.

      Cons

      Timelines are very tight and done without consulting the development team, and the onus often unfortunately falls on the development team to do a lot of overtime to complete projects in the agreed timelines. The company doesn't value or invest in non-development work, so the time allocated to analysis, design and planning is smaller than industry standards. There is not much opportunity for developers to give feedback to leadership. We don't do post implementation reviews and other processes to get staff input. Staff feedback didn't cause leadership changes. The company uses internally made software for all functions, but there is little investment on this software. Despite the team being very diverse, most executive positions are held by a non-diverse demographic.

      Thank you for taking the time to review Clear Dynamics. I'm sorry that I missed this comment from July and I'm sorry that you didn't have a great experience. The number one feedback that we consistently receive from our team is that our culture is the reason why they join Clear Dynamics, and what they love most about working for our company. Like all growing companies, and maybe also because of our innovative platform (not in the low code category) and way of working, we have had our fair share of celebratory and challenging times over the past 8 years. There have been a lot of learnings and will continue to be (we are a learning culture). For those exployees to chose to leave the company we offer an exit interview.

      More talk, less output. Quirky platform. Hire & Fire

      Anonymous employee

      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      - Slightly above average pay - Broad range of clients

      Cons

      Overselling and underdelivering is it's mantra. The company is poorly run and there is no vision to nurture or even sustain the existing relationships with it's clients. Team members have to not only deliver using thier cumbersome inhouse platform, but also manage customer comms. Despite it's shortcomings the platform is hailed as some kind of an engineering marvel. It's no wonder that so many bigwigs have left in droves over the past year. And then there were also mass layoffs. Juniors with very little industry experience were promoted to lead & manage delivery, and the results are clearly not promising. Clients are probably wondering why they signed up in the first place, probably all the sales talk swayed them. It's a sinking ship and the there is a good chance the comapny may go bust one day.
