Pros

I think Cloudability is a great place to work. You'll be afforded the opportunity to become a domain expert in all things cloud, which will only increase in value as time goes on. The engineering team is top notch, and working with the principal engineers on the team is a great way to sharpen your tools and get even better at your craft. You'll be challenged here, you'll have to stretch and get a bit outside your comfort zone, mainly because there is a very dense technical domain that the product functions in, so you'll spend a lot of your initial time getting familiar with the intricacies of public cloud services and how they relate to the product. I enjoyed the culture at Cloudability. The Boulder team I worked with is a very close, tight knit group. We always strive to include people and insure that they feel comfortable and are given a lot of opportunities to contribute and grow. Our team always made it a point to hang out and spend quality time together, which to me is the sign of a team that is high functioning, high trust, and high accountability. All things I crave in a work environment. I believe strongly that the management wants the best for employees. I felt that management was approachable, and I think all of the C-levels in the company genuinely care about their employees. I've had a few personal interactions with the CEO, and I felt that he was authentic and available.

Cons

I think Cloudability is still, in many ways, an early stage start up, despite its size. This can be a pro or a con, depending on what you're looking for. I think the team and company will continue to mature and grow as time goes on, but the immediate feel of the experience will be like an early stage start up, so make certain that you're prepared for that.

Pros

Competitive compensation, great benefits including extras like gym stipend, bottomless snacks - we take these for granted in the tech sector and Cloudability has all of them. Where I think they stand out: - A true startup, which is great if that's your cup of tea. They are growing fast! - Very engaged with the community, they sponsor many groups and host many meetups. - Small enough that the executives know your name and large enough to have good revenue and specialists in all of the leadership positions. - Great technology niche - the cloud is the place to be. But most of all the culture and people value a rare combination of fun and professionalism. They hire people for their life experience and values as much as for their competencies.

Cons

Startups are volatile, and Cloudability has a lot of turnover. They are not afraid to take risks and when they don't work out they may have to get out of a location or let a group of people go.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.
