Pros

Flashy marketing, merch and designs

Cons

The culture, benefits, and success stories they market are hollow and don't reflect reality. Multiple red flags demonstrate this. Over the past year, several staff in leadership and senior positions have left due to burnout or company politics—including promising new hires who departed after incredibly short stints. These seemed like exactly the people who could have made a positive difference. More recently, redundancies have been made as the company struggles financially, despite having strong cash reserves in previous years. Promotion opportunities are promised on paper but then delayed or denied with various excuses. For prospective clients: be cautious—their technological capabilities and IT security practices aren't nearly as mature as they claim. Values around performance and fast-paced work are code for burnout culture. Hybrid working is marketed as flexible but really means dictating certain office days. Expect long hours, skipped lunch breaks, and lunchtime meetings. Flashy merchandise and a "fully stocked fridge" don't constitute benefits or meaningful culture. They won't even provide proper lunch facilities—apparently a microwave would make the office "too smelly when clients visit." Leadership is inflexible and doesn't welcome challenge. They have no understanding of structural inclusion or how to drive innovation through diverse perspectives. It's pushing out anyone different and leaving behind those who've either drunk the company Kool-Aid (see all those 5-star reviews) or are too intimidated to speak up. Since leaving, I've been contacted by several current and former employees sharing nothing but heartbreaking stories echoing all of the above. I'm writing this to offer a different perspective to contrast all the positive reviews —if you're considering joining, think twice. This place isn't worth sacrificing your mental health.

Pros

After almost six months, it's safe to say that I feel like I've landed the perfect role. Having spent most of my career agency-side, I've worked in established and growing agency, this is one of the most exciting. As you'd expect, the environment is fast-paced and there is a real sense of momentum across the business. In my experience here, the role is very much what you make of it. You are provided with the tools and the autonomy to grow your skills and your department. If you are prepared to take an opportunity and run with it, nothing will hold you back. The culture is defined by a great supportive team and a high level of talent across all squads and departments. From a strategic perspective, it is a pleasure to work alongside our dev team. They are truly some of the best in the industry and having that level of technical excellence available makes a huge difference to the quality of work we deliver, and how we build our relationships with clients.

Cons

Like many agencies, it's not for everyone - if you're looking for an easy ride where you'll focus on one area - go client side. But if you're looking for somewhere exciting, a challenge and somewhere you'll have the power to make a difference, ClearSky is the place for you.

Pros

Supportive management who are always looking to further your professional development. I have some health issues and the company, managers and team are all very supportive and accommodating. Agency work also allows you to work on different things and learn more about different industries.

Cons

Hybrid working model enforced rather than being optional but if you live far away you dont have to go in as much
