A recruiter reached out to me and I would like to talk to someone from Clipboard Health to find out how it is.
But they do not have a physical presence, aka an office anywhere
The way you can tell they are faking their glass door reviews is to read all the posts praising their office culture.
They seem to be hiring aggressively, are already profitable (learned this during an interview with them) and just raised a series C. I wish there was someone at CBH on here so that we could know about their culture.
You can ask your doubts. I can clarify
How is the work culture? How is the company doing? A recruiter reached out to me for an SDET role and in the process of doing the take home assignment.
Work culture is aggressive. Company is doing well in terms of growth and expanding to other regions.
They pay really good comp for deserving candidates. For people who are not in US it is definitely a huge money
Are they still hiring? Have been ghosted after they had cancelled interviews which they says they’ll be scheduling very soon.
Yes they are still hiring.
+1 Work culture is super aggressive. Lots of talent but management is not aligned. Expect long days and primarily working as an individual contributor. If you’re not ok with writing a detailed synopsis at a stem research article standard for 90% of all actions you will not be happy. It’s a bit of a toxic writing culture IMO
Dumbass company. Make sure to read folks' experience doing many hours of work for their case study, only to get ghosted w no human contact. Are they writing books? Or building a product company?
I work there, and the culture is sharply defined (and polarizing -- which should be the case for strong cultures, as opposed to diffuse organizational culture). You will either hate it or love it. The company still operates like an early-stage (~series A) company. Speed of execution is key, with quality, and work is ambiguous most of the time. You get a ridiculous amount of autonomy, but it also comes with accountability on results (double-edged sword). Same with processes/roles/responsibilities: there are some in place, most need to be improved, and many are missing. If you like improving those things, then join. If you expect organizations to have things figured out, don't apply (most likely a later stage or larger company will be better for you). The feedback culture will also be unusual for many people. Performance reviews are every 3 months: that might be too stressful for some people, but the flipside is that if you perform, you'll grow fast in responsibilities & seniority (and compensation will follow). Regarding churn, it also means that underperformers are let go more quickly than in other orgs. The upside: people you work with are less likely to be quiet quitting. You will also get feedback from your manager at least once every 2 weeks, most likely more frequently. Most of the time it'll be in written form, take the time to read it and discuss it in your 1-1s if you need. If you don't want your work to be scrutinized and receive regular feedback: this isn't the company for you; on the other hand, if you want to get systematically better at everything you do, then apply. As for the writing, the teams are in all time zones. The default work style is async (most standups are async, some teams even do retros async), which leads to a lot of writing. That also includes technical designs. Not many engineers will enjoy the writing: if you think that's you, don't apply, you will hate it. Few other things: salary is good, unlimited PTO (anything above 3 weeks needs more approval, but aside from this, PTOs are smooth as long as you give 2 weeks -- a sprint -- notice). Contracts/Employment methods vary a lot by country, but most will be done through an EOR (Deel most of the time). The business is doing exceptionally well, already profitable, all metrics going up, MoM growth ranges between 20-30%. Final word: places like blind are heavily biased for negative reviews (just like yelp). I only came here after a candidate told me they withdrew their application after seeing what's up about CBH on Blind. Most people who are there and working won't even think about going on Blind, and we're also not doing "propaganda" campaigns with our teams on Glassdoor/Blind. So yeah, expect to see a lot more negative than positive. And the intensity of the comments will be accentuated by the strong culture. PS: that's a lot of writing. Proof I work there? ;)
Summary (for those who don't want to read so much): PLEASE AVOID THIS COMPANY AS WE HAVE SO MANY OPTIONS ELSEWHERE.
Several statements made by this Clipboard employee appear to be inaccurate, potentially due to a lack of awareness of the company's activities. Clipboard has been systematically removing negative reviews on various job review platforms, while encouraging employees to submit brief, positive reviews. The authenticity of some reviewers on other job sites is questionable, as they discuss the "office culture" of a fully remote company. Draw your own conclusions. The company maintains profitability by employing nursing aids as 1099 contractors, resulting in a misleading pay structure for workers who may not fully understand tax law implications. As a consequence, Clipboard can offer higher superficial rates to nurses and nursing homes, ultimately increasing profits. However, this practice has led to legal action from the Department of Labor against nursing homes that use Clipboard's services, due to worker misclassification. https://medcitynews.com/2023/03/labor-department-is-cracking-down-on-providers-use-of-1099-contractors-lawyer-warns/ Clipboard's legal and regulatory risks are significant, and its legal team is expanding. Its offerings are not particularly distinct from other tech-driven placement agencies. Better-funded competitors, such as Shiftkey, exist.
No but heard good things. A friend of mine got a solid offer there (decent base and good equity). Edit (months later): nvm after joining they said it was a total shit show.
Can confirm. It's a total shit show.
