Not Growing Very Well - Product Clover Employee Review

Clover was great as a smaller startup, since being acquired by First Data and Fiserv, they are doing a pretty poor job in scaling. Instead of hiring competent HR, they decide to promote from within someone who has no idea what they are doing nor fit to be in a position. They are a fan of promoting from within those who are "grandfathered" into the company, but those people lack the experience and training needed for their new positions. Company culture is extremely clique-y; if you're not in one of those cliques, you are made to feel like you don't belong. There is an extreme lack of good management. A lot of empty promises and people being led on over months. Some of the product managers are also incompetent, leading to a lot of projects that were due yesterday. Clover used to be a very transparent company that is becoming less so year by year. It's a good place for a first job, definitely not somewhere to stay to grow your career.
