Pros

Recommended if you enjoy being treated as an Excel cell.

Cons

Nordcloud is an employer that should be avoided. The high-level management is unhelpful, and seem to have no care for the wellbeing of their employees. Their communication is completely detached from the reality. They're unresponsive to employee concerns and requests. The working conditions are grueling, with extremely chaotic projects being brought in and chanted as success. The pay is below industry standards - variable pay (bonuses) were cut by half, despite the record-breaking financial results of the company. The working environment is incredibly hostile and unsupportive, leading to high levels of stress and anxiety among staff. Negativity everywhere. Overall, Nordcloud is an employer that should be avoided. The working conditions are unfair, the pay is low, and the company culture is unsupportive. It's a shame, as this used to be a great employer a couple of years ago, before the three letters era. If you're seeking employment, make sure you steer clear of Nordcloud.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry this is how you currently feel about the company and we’re working to improve our processes and communication. We acknowledge there’s work still to be done in terms of our internal communications, and we’re continually evolving initiatives like our Townhalls to provide more transparency and feedback. In these sessions, all questions and concerns are answered during the Townhall itself, and/or in written form shortly after. We’re also collecting feedback from employees via Officevibe and, based on feedback we periodically plan actions and implement changes. And some of the changes we make are to improve our communications, following recent feedback around this. Regarding salaries and bonuses, these were reviewed recently, as we did an external benchmarking exercise and we are above or on par with most markets. We’d encourage you to please contact us at letusknow@nordcloud.com, or use SpeakUp to help us address these challenges. We welcome an open conversation and always keep things totally confidential.

Pros

The good things about Nordcloud are that we are international, skilled colleagues, good market position

Cons

The start-up has been harder than I had expected, due to cleaning up in Salesforce, many customer cases that have to be handled and started again.
