Vantaggi
I've been a software engineer for more than 10 years, at a variety of different startups, and Cloudability is one of the best places I've ever worked.
The management is humane and compassionate, and the leadership team truly cares about being a good citizen of the world, and of our local community. We regularly take opportunities to volunteer together for local charitable causes, and we're all working hard to be equitable and inclusive in our hiring practices and in our career ladder. It's an ongoing project, and of course it's not perfect yet, but I've never seen another company make a more sincere effort at self-awareness than this.
We also have a remarkable technical team, with exceptional engineering skills. Creative ideas are always welcomed from folks throughout the organization. The work is challenging and satisfying, and learned a lot as an engineer from my peers here. And yet, beyond my regular on-call rotations or the occasional emergency, I've never been asked to work crazy hours or meet unrealistic deadlines.
Salary and benefits are great, and the office culture is casual and friendly, while still being focused and rigorous.
Svantaggi
Like any rapidly-growing company with a complex technical product, it can be difficult for new folks to feel productive and fully-integrated into the team, but I don't feel like the problem is out of control... We're actively working on improving our onboarding and mentorship, and I can see improvements on the horizon.
