Pros

- Operations team were extremely helpful when deploying. - Social time on a Friday afternoon, free beers. - Pool table.

Cons

- Consultant management aren't much help when deploying, expect you to be able to find somewhere to live with no financial help at the drop of a hat, all falls on the liaisons. - 'Senior members' if you can call them that.. of recruitment are derogatory to us and even their own team members. Overheard one girl in particular multiple times talking down to/bullying her team members, in the open office area and also in the kitchen doesn't seem to care who hears her being egotistical and very harsh, has a - 'no one can tell me' attitude. Can be nice to some trainees (if she hired you) sometimes even a bit flirty? Very uncomfortable to watch. Myself and a lot of others witnessed this so I know it cant' have been going unnoticed by her management but they don't seem to care? Toxic environment to be learning in. - Trainers have no previous experience in training, all nice people just would advise they go on a training course themselves first.

Hi and thank you for these comments. Would you be willing to talk to me directly about the examples you have given above relating to your engagements with certain staff members? I am particularly concerned about any examples of derogatory behaviour and want to understand more so we can deal with it appropriately. I know that glassdoor postings prevent you from being too specific but I am keen to address a number of your points with the QAC senior leadership team.

Pros

The skills platform developed by the former Cloud Academy team was innovative and well-received by customers.

Cons

Since my voluntary departure, the company has proven to be unreliable and somewhat cagey. Under the terms of their articles of association and ISD, they had 12 months to repurchase my preferred shares. Nearly 18 months have passed, and they refuse to repurchase my shares or communicate any reasons for the delay. One might conclude that they are dealing with financial difficulties.
