Pros

When i started they were saying all the right things about how we can improve as a business, and how we can grow as employees. But it was all lip service. Absolute rubbish.

Cons

They all hire there friends who wont challenge anything higher management say. Very autocratic run business. If you disagree with senior managers they will find a way to push you out or just ignore you until you leave. If the customer knew the truth about some of the underlying issues here they would all leave especially considering some are big government agencies.

Pros

Clue has one of the friendliest and most supportive cultures I’ve experienced. Everyone is genuinely willing to help each other, and you always feel like you’re part of a team working toward something meaningful. It is evident that the company’s mission and values guide the work and motivate you to push hard because you know the impact it has. Staff are treated well, the benefits are solid, and the pay feels very fair for the role and responsibilities. It’s the kind of environment where you feel valued, trusted, and encouraged to grow. Another standout is the customers - working with organisations tackling some of the most interesting, complex, and important challenges out there gives you a strong sense of purpose and makes the role feel meaningful day to day.

Cons

If there’s one area that could still improve, it would be communication between departments. It’s always getting better, and there’s clearly an effort to make it smoother, but there’s still room for continued progress as the company grows.
