Pros

* Office * Benefits * Comfortable people with a big heart from the Ops team <3

Cons

* Strange politics of cross-team interactions: when a manager of another team forces you to work on a feature for them, even if you are stuffed with your own tasks in the backlog * Missing vector of development: you are working in a vacuum where everyone starting from C-level and ending with engineers doesn't know what should be developed. No planning, no big picture, and no clear communication * Fake supportive atmosphere: asking for help or support here is like screaming into the void. Instead, people will gossip about how you underperform * No professionalism, as well as growth: people missing important calls, sharing misunderstood info, and creating conflicts from nowhere

Hello, Thank you for leaving a review for UpCloud! We appreciate the time you have invested in leaving your review. We are delighted to hear you enjoyed the office facilities, benefits, and spending time with your coworkers at UpCloud. The Operations team definitely deserves the shoutout - they are an awesome bunch of people! We are sorry to learn about your unfavourable experiences with cross-team collaboration, management, and lack of direction. These are all matters that we cherish highly, and therefore, it is especially unfortunate - yet valuable - to learn about your personal experiences. One of UpCloud’s company values is transparency which we promote in all we do. For instance, we hold regular company-wide meetings to update on company and team goals, successes, and challenges. Additionally, we promote cross-team team collaboration between teams and departments. We continuously look to establish better channels and practises to discuss dependencies across different areas and domains together with the necessary parts and agree on the plans and priorities. Thank you again for your review! Best Regards, UpCloud team

Pros

International company with a bit of travel, that's about it.

Cons

No support, unrealistic expectations filled with gas lighting management. Cross-team calibration is a joke. New Sales management was micromanaging and under-experienced with no idea what they are doing. Company culture is fake. Payroll was never accurate and benefits were subpar. HR was pathetic.
