Pros
Not only did clovio give me my first true job but also, at the time of writing (2023), is the only place I worked at for more than three years. Founder-CEO Sander Delabie is a great team leader who always has nice words for every employee. Moreover, his leadership style is more reminiscent of a fellow employee rather than a CEO, meaning that you can have honest and not too serious conversations with him without remorse. Given the size of my former team, it felt more like a club rather than a workplace - in the most positive sense of the word. A huge positive, especially in retrospect, is that my job was fully remote, proving once and for all that certain jobs can be performed from anywhere around the world given the right conditions. Despite being fully remote, operations went smoothly and all strictly necessary hardware/software was provided in advance to guarantee you put your absolute best into your work. Still, there were occasional meetups between team members residing in the same country, so social interactions aren't just limited to your screens. As for the knowledge I gained throughout my 3+ years at clovio, it's something I still use today; what you learn at clovio - whether it's skills or the vast subjects covered - will give you the necessary advantage you need in this competitive market. (E.g. WordPress management, basic HTML coding, basic photo editing, research and analysis skills.)
Cons
Since clovio is an ideal place for those who want to kickstart their careers or need a temporary job, my coworkers often changed. As this is a natural process in every company's life, it wasn't a problem per se during my stay at this company; however, leavers were often announced just a few days before their departure - including myself. Also, being a small company, expect salaries that are average at best. (Note: please reach out to "clovions" still working with clovio or having left recently via LinkedIn. As I moved on in 2019, my comments only apply to the pre-2019 state of the company.)
Pros
• Flexible shifts that allow you to combine work duties with time dedicated to family • Daily and independent planning, which helps promote self-discipline and creativity when proposing and developing certain content • Promotion of values such as meritocracy and loyalty
Cons
Given my work experience and the flexibilities offered by the company, so far I have not found any cons in working at clovio.
