Pros

I worked with 2 lovely marketers who worked from home. They didn't have to deal with the Managing Director on a day to day basis and at least 1 of them was Part time so I can attribute 2 of the positive reviews on here to them. Given the fact that most of the people who worked at Clear Path were made redundant or left out of frustration, I'm not sure who these other employees are. Personally, if I had had such a wonderful experience at a company I would want to add my name or at least my title to the review. Anyone interested in a job at Clear Path can find most previous employees on Linkedin. Something to bear in mind if you are considering a role at this company. I know for a fact that most of these employees would be happy to give you an account of their experience. They were certainly very helpful to me when I was putting together my case against Noel.

Cons

I will keep this short. I wrote a review highlighting the details of my experience at Clear Path. I discovered earlier today that that review is no longer live... I'm not sure why because everything I wrote about my experience can be easily corroborated. I took the Managing Director to court for unpaid fees and WON. The MD made his entire team redundant in one day before he hired me. Since then I have been told there have been 2 similar rounds of firings. The MD fired me over the phone on a day I took off work sick. When I asked for a reason as to why I was being fired he put the phone down on me. He fired me despite the fact that I hit every single one of my targets as the Head of Content and as a publisher. He then REHIRED me the NEXT DAY as a freelance publisher and then proceeded to not pay me for the work I had done. When I made it clear that I would take him to court for nonpayment of fees, he bizarrely recruited a law firm to threaten me with breach of contract or something equally ridiculous and non-sensical. Those of us working in the conference production world are familiar with most of the recruiters who operate in this space. Before you consider a role with this company, do yourself a favor and check in with past employees and ask the recruiters for their impression of the company.

Pros

Colleagues were nice but this is a terrible company to work for

Cons

After finding out that all it's current employees were made redundant last week, as I was 3 years ago, I feel it is my duty to warn others to avoid working at this company no matter how attractive working here looks. The company is the worst run I have ever seen and has very poor financial planning. Having to make whole of company redundancies twice in 3 years should tell you everything you need to know about how the company is run. For the sake of your career and job security please avoid.

Pros

Really great team to be a part of, who are all very capable. Events have fantastic content, run very smoothly and have greater calibre of audience attendees. Opportunity to become a real expert in an area of institutional finance and chance to build strong networks with experts in the field. Nice office in a lovely area. Small company so ability to learn from all areas of event production, operations and marketing. Independent work environment, which allows quick learning of topics and concepts and ability to shape events and agenda. Event topics which are of interest to people within the industry and therefore able to work with some big names and companies very closely.

Cons

There is a real lack of support from management with very little praise, or consideration into individual career progression. Management does not advocate for you internally, and does not defend you externally. Pay is lower than it should be for entry level / graduate role in London with bonuses few and far between, having little impact on overall earnings. Not a competitive salary with lack of structure for when pay rises might be available etc. No HR means that when issues arise internally between staff or with management, they are not addressed or dealt with appropriately. This will continue to be a significant issue until someone is employed to take on HR matters. When staff raise concerns or are asked for their opinion these are shut down or ignored. This is difficult when staff have so much ownership of their events as can be difficult to watch management not handle situations appropriately and see events suffer as a result. Terrible database with out of date contacts or leads - very difficult to keep up to date as free software which requires huge manual input. Seems little considered strategy for the business - growth plans are too ambitious and instead of a 5-10 year plan, they expect to complete in 2 years. Think there is little understanding from management of what it actually takes to grow a business to that scale e.g. reinvestment into the business, securing and producing successful events for several years before growth etc. surviving a pandemic is not justification for rapid growth. Management are very reactive - if they have a member of staff capable of doing something they plan 2 years of growth on that one skill / capability, similarly if one person mentions an area of growth this is seen as a niche to focus on for the next event etc. Things need to be established and show security first, before expanding. Inappropriate boundaries from CEO family members - there have been family members attend work dinners / activities etc. when they are not staff and then make comments about paid employees to other staff, highly inappropriate and does not go unnoticed by the wider team.
