Thank you for sharing your insights and experiences from your time with CloudScale back in 2017. We greatly appreciate the time you took to provide this feedback, as it offers us a valuable perspective on our journey and growth. We're pleased to hear that you recognized the strengths in our client relationships and the expertise of our solutions engineers. Our team has always been the cornerstone of our success, and we continue to take pride in their exceptional skills and dedication. Your comments regarding the startup environment and the need for more realistic vision and planning were particularly insightful. Since your departure, CloudScale has undergone significant changes. We are no longer in the startup phase you experienced; the company has matured and evolved considerably over the past few years. One of the most notable changes is our transition from a startup environment to a more established, stable organization. This evolution has allowed us to implement more robust HR processes and management structures. We now have a dedicated HR team focused on supporting our employees' growth and well-being, ensuring that their voices are heard and their needs are addressed. Additionally, our approach to planning and vision has also matured. We've learned the importance of balancing ambitious goals with realistic strategies and timelines. This has enabled us to grow sustainably while maintaining the innovative spirit that has always been a part of CloudScale's DNA. The growth from 2 to over 20 employees in less than two years, as you mentioned personally, was indeed a remarkable phase in our history. Today, we continue to grow, not just in numbers, but in expertise, stability, and the quality of our work environment. We are grateful for the role you played during your time with us and hope that your experiences at CloudScale have positively contributed to your career path. We wish you continued success!

Pros

There is a lot of really good talent that comes and goes. You will learn a lot, some out of exposure, most out of necessity and very little is curated by the actual company.

Cons

The leadership is just abysmal. I experienced Cloudscale through two different views, and both were disappointing. Poor processes, lead by C level individuals who are beyond accountability apparently, taking random time off, mid-project, with poor handoffs and no heads up. There is blatant scapegoating, immature favoritism (a simple disagreement lead to a stripping of titles) and straight up lying on discovery calls around how much experience everyone has with everything brought up in the sales cycle. It felt like there was absolutely no plan every time a new project was drawn up. There were a few people that made life there just absolutely horrible and completely unprofessional, who were ironically people that you report these types of issues to. Cursing, making inappropriate jokes, and being assigned a semi-technical project management role with 0 technical aptitude, really made it a hostile environment. Lastly, everything was done behind closed doors and through obfuscation of the business/zero transparency, and projects were kicked off without much handoff or discussion.
