Clever Devices

The biggest issue with Clever Devices is they choose to be a reactive company versus a proactive company. Unfortunately the transit industry is so mismanaged that they literally look to throw their vendors under the bus. Since the Clever Device integrates with nearly all of the bus systems it gets blamed whenever something goes wrong. There have been many times whereby we as the techs resolve the buses issue because it was blamed on the clever device thus doing transit maintenance job by proving the clever device was not the culprit. Management when I worked for them would release faulty products that caused issues with clever performance and instead of admitting to it they would fire PM or techs to place blame on them when it was actually a product issue that needed to be resolved but since they were now reacting they had to buy some time. to figure out the fix.

Clever Devices is a growing company in a very interesting space (technology and public transit).  Because of their rapid growth, the pace can be fast and, at times, hectic.  If you enjoy working in an environment where you are challenged, and where the focus can shift quickly, then this is a very rewarding place.  Management truly cares about their people.  Benefits are very good and time off is above average.  However, if you like a quiet, consistent (slow) pace, then you will struggle here.  The ability to work on technical solutions that have a direct and positive impact on the community through public transportation is very rewarding, but you do need to be committed to your job or you may struggle.

My typical day was checking my phone for the work order to see which bus needed to be check and how many devices needed to be troubleshoot or replace. I learn how to check the power cable and the communication cable for problem. management was good with there employee the workplace culture was very helpful in every area to help you to be successful doing your job. the hardest part of the job was tracing the cable from the dashboard to the side of the bus or above the driver seat. the enjoyable part of the job was meeting with new people all the time that will help you when needed and troubleshooting, finding the problem with the device.

Clever Devices is a growing organization in the Intelligent Transportation Solutions industry.  They have outstanding solutions and have work very hard to make sure they provide excellent customer service.  Their employees and executive staff are very dedicated to the success of their projects and solutions.

My only concern would be that their desire/drive for success does come at a price: family and personal time.  I enjoyed my time with the company and wish them all the success in the future.  Just remember that even success has a price and are you willing to sacrifice your family to obtain it.

This company has a relatively good work life balance. It provides opportunities to learn and grow. Management can be a hit or miss depending on the department. However, like most workplaces you’ll find that some individuals are extremely difficult to work with.

However, the greatest misgiving I have about this company is that it have a set of values that are regularly not practiced. It can be discouraging to see a company pledge a set of values on paper and not in practice.

This was my favorite place to work the place was great to work in and comfortable. I got paid weekly but wasnt told at first it was a contract and how long it will last. I took it as I will be permanent later but I always asked my manager or my recruiter and they said they didnt know an exact answer. Then when Christmas vacation came they told me the contract ended and they didnt need my services I just wish they told me 2 weeks in advance and not out of nowhere so I didnt have time to prepare.

A typical day included 2 status meetings with an additional meeting for showstopper ( Problems which could delay deliverables) cases. Analysis/Trouble shooting of customer data. 

Workplace is casual friendly.

Hardest part of the job is the time you need to invest. Working late evenings is the norm and sometimes weekends on occasions.

Learning Transit Agencies Bus and Rail systems is a treat.

One of the things that made the Clever Device role difficult is the company itself is located in New York but the job I held was in Chicago.  Thus, you were always an outsider and never a real part of the team.  The client was difficult and dysfunctional, and the Clever provided no substantive support.  The job was so stressful it was literally making me physically ill, interestingly, the symptoms cleared up with in a few days of leaving.  When they called to cancel my position, in truth, the thing I felt most was relieved.

A typical workday at Clever Devices consists of being at work about 8:00am and working until 6:00pm (approx., but sometimes more hours). It's a busy day with multiple projects being reviewed and many customer calls. Travel is abundant, about 3 weeks out of 4 at customer sites. New products and learning curve on those is extensive. It's a busy life, but the good news is there's advancement opportunities. Employees are great to work with.

Clever Devices provides innovative, state-of-the-art transit technology solutions to public and private transportation providers to improve rider experience, facilitate efficient operations, and increase profitability.

Innovation. Cutting edge technology. Great clients. Excellent teams. Collaborative atmosphere. Room to advance
