Pros
The leadership at Cloverleaf has been baking this concept since like 2013 and has never stopped learning and trying to get better. The effect permeates the culture. There's just no bull here. People want to do things for good reasons, so if you bring up good thoughts, people actively want to hear them and do them. So things get done. Problems get resolved. It's crazy. It's amazing.
It doesn't hurt that the product itself (cloverleaf.me) is about enabling teams to do great work together. Supporting each other, helping with each other's weaknesses and leaning on each other's strengths, is what the company is all about.
Materially, while it is a startup, my observation is that resources are prioritized pretty well, quality is emphasized over quantity in terms of how hiring is done, and the leadership seems to be pretty above-board in ensuring that compensation, benefits, etc. aren't a blocker for us getting and keeping good talent.
Cons
I'm really loving working here, so I'm not sure I have any out-and-out cons.
- It is a place that needs people who can own what they do, use creativity and make good choices, so if uncertainty makes you uncomfortable it might not be a fit.
- It is a place where we are actively learning and questioning -- and I think the culture provides a great framework and context for that -- but I could see how some people could feel uncomfortable around that.
