Pros

- The product is pretty good

Cons

- You are treated like a child, constantly told how to do your job by people with very little experience that goes beyond this company. - Your activity is closely monitored, and you will spend most of your time reporting on what you're doing instead of actually doing the things you need to do in order to be successful in the rare event you have any new prospective customers to talk to - The CEO has a massive ego, fakes you out by being nice at first in the interviews, and then when you start working with him turns into a completely different, rude, unappreciative person who doesn't trust his employees and barks orders to entire groups at once. He thinks he knows how to sell when in reality his "sales" experience doesn't go beyond this amateur company at all. All of his genius sales ideas are just different versions of already failed ideas. - The health insurance is abyssmal - They replaced amazing software tools with complete junk nobody has ever heard of just to save a buck - Be weary of the general, positive reviews you see, they're hardly believable.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We are constantly trying to improve our hiring process to ensure that every candidate is fully qualified for the role and that they will be able to fulfill the responsibilities of the job and be successful. Unfortunately, we don’t always get it right. Once in a great while, we hire someone who is not a fit for our company or the job and not willing to put in the work that is required to be successful. When that happens, we ensure that the employee is fully aware of the issues and we place him/her on a performance improvement plan that clearly outlines what needs to be done to be successful. We give that person every opportunity to improve before terminating employment. We are proud that our company has a high bar for performance and extremely low turnover. In addition, our health insurance is offered through Aetna with eight varying plans, and seven of them are fully paid for by the company for the employee. We feel that’s in fact the opposite of abysmal. Thanks again for taking the time to provide feedback. We’re sorry that it didn’t work out for you here and we wish you the best of luck with your next role.

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.
