Pros

Its remote but work expectations are higher and work life balance is hard.

Cons

To start, ask yourself, how come every time there is a bad review on here, that there is a really good 5 star review right afterwards? Feels fishy. I can assure you. You do not want to work here. Within the last two years, pretty much every leader in the company has turned over with several leaving by choice with no job lined up. The CEO and President cannot keep good talent. It is clear from the outside (as the other reviews have stated) that it is the CEOs way or the highway, always. The company is not growing, the product is buggy, people are leaving. Red flags. If you're looking for diversity in both thought and people, this is not your place. The entire senior leadership team are white males who have all worked together in past jobs and are buddies. We had 1 female VP, but she quit recently. Perks here aren't great. Stock is worth nothing (and most people don't get a meaningful amount), the pay is low ( I don't know who is saying otherwise) and the new insurance is not great. It is 100% work from home, but the expectations are that you work 24/7 with very little work life balance. Many of the open roles are not being backfilled which is creating a ton of strain on existing employees. The company really lacks culture outside of the normal chaos and disorganization. A President was hired to turn it around. First thing he did was a company survey (really cool.) The feedback was fairly negative i.e. lack of opportunities for growth, overworked, no training and learning opportunities to name a few items they shared in an all hands. The next year, instead of doing another survey, we heard tricklings that the president chose to hand select employees to do a hush hush “Stay interview.” Like what? What's the point of only soliciting feedback from certain people you've handpicked? Talk about a moral suck when people heard they weren't chosen for the stay interview. IMO, this shows they weren't truly interested in the people and their feedback, they only wanted to hear what they wanted to hear. Save yourself the headache, go work somewhere else.

Pros

Flexible work if you don’t get laid off.

Cons

For still claiming startup status (when it was founded in 2012) Crelate lost it’s transparency and “open door policy” that startups tend to boast about. During the Coronavirus pandemic, the company started off with an all-hands meeting that was positioned to “care” for employees wellbeing, and the CEO assured concerned employees that layoffs were not in the plan because the company had great “cash flow management” and funding. However, 2 weeks later, 25% of its employees were laid off instead of furloughed. Left without healthcare coverage, but positioned it as “we’re taking care of you” with a measly severance package. All I’m saying is, don’t believe the “small company” and “we care about our employees” rhetoric that Crelate brags about. The CEO will openly lie and tell people not to worry about layoffs and turn around 2-weeks later let go of a quarter of the workforce during an already uncertain time. A majority of Crelate’s customers are small 1-2 person recruiting companies, who are likely struggling to find work during the pandemic, resulting in Crelate losing customers by default. I’d be surprised if they make it to 2021.
