It is always rewarding to see that interns that spend an internship with us leave with a sense of accomplishment. Also, getting our team recognized consistently as one of the main upsides is always an honor and something of which we are really proud.

We really hope that you have learned as much as possible in those five months and we wish you the best for your future, academically and professionally.... MoreLess

It’s always great to see our team mentioned as such a positive aspect and we’re glad that you took the best of our time with us as an intern. We do everything to make this first experience after uni as enriching as possible.

Concerning the overload periods, we’re growing in order to effectively deal with every task that we have ahead, while also having time to support everyone who might need. Ideally, such periods wouldn’t ever exist, but at times, it’s a bit unpredictable.... MoreLess

We’re glad that you had such a great experience in your time working with us. We value the constant improvement of everyone in the team and we’re delighted to see that you’ve highlighted that as the most positive aspect in your internship.

Every piece of feedback is essential for us to continue improving as a whole and we thank you for taking a bit of your time to write about your experience here.

As for our work space, we just moved to a larger office, as comfortable as the last one and prepared for the growth that we’re expecting in the future. Our doors are always open to those who already did an internship with us.... MoreLess

Thank you very much for having the time to leave a review for us. We find it great that you underlined how great our team is, one that you’re part of for some time now as well. We’re really proud of it as well!

As for the office, we hope that you enjoy our new space as much as we do.

Concerning the projects, we’re focused on helping our clients delivering great digital products. We work very hard to find passionate entrepreneurs and entrepreneurs with great business ideas. This way we know that everyone will be working on great projects.

We do have an active R&D stream to release products created by Imaginary Cloud, sometimes in partnership with other companies. It just needs time to mature and deliver great results.

Thank you for being part of the team and helping us keep on improving as well.... MoreLess

Thank you investing your time into giving us a review.

Glad to know that you had a great time at Imaginary Cloud and that you've learned while in here.

We know that an internship has a huge impact the life of an intern, because it's probably the first contact that they have with the market. And we try our best to provide a meaningful experience.

Knowing that this happened in your case is very important to us. Thanks for investing your time in here. Our doors always open for anyone that made their internship with us.... MoreLess

Thank you for your review. It means a lot to us that, despite not having a good work experience, you still took the time to help us becoming a better company.

As ImaginaryCloud’s top manager I’d like to apologise for any action or words that made you, or anyone, feel unappreciated in any way. I'm also sorry I was not able to foster a trusting communication link with you, as I do with most of my team members.

About the professional progression, we are a small team and therefore can't offer unlimited career options or roles. But we do offer an array of learning tools, and we strive to continuously present our team with opportunities to learn new techs and develop their skills. Also, we have a Career Plan in place, and are now building a Training Plan on top of it. And although we do our best to help people grow, I'm sure there will always be times where some of us realise that we need to look for experience elsewhere. And that's OK.

Company culture is something we continuously work on improving, and we had some tough lessons to learn from in the past. But making some wrong decisions must not be synonym of bad management. Bad management would be not taking a step back and correct our mistakes. And we did. I am also proud to say that our turnover rate is zero.

Again, thanks for the time invested in posting this recommendation. Feedback is most appreciated, even the negative one, as this is key for continuous improvement.... MoreLess

First of all, thank you for taking the time to help us be a better company! It means a lot to us that you choose to invest your time into giving us a review.

We aim to create an environment where people feel happy and productive, and it’s very satisfying to know we are going in the right direction.

We want to keep doing a good work, and for that your feedback is paramount, so we’d love to hear more from you.... MoreLess

Thank you for your acknowledgement on how great our team is. We feel the same!

As ImaginaryCloud’s top manager I’d like to apologise for any action or words that made you, or anyone, feel uncomfortable in any way. I’m used to having my team members approaching me personally whenever there is something that needs to be dealt with, and I'm sorry I was not able to foster the same trusting communication link with you.

I confess it’s the first time I see the term punishment room. I suspect this is referred to the server room that was being used for standup meetings. The room is OK for small short meetings. Unfortunately project teams started to use it as a meeting room, and the conditions were far from ideal for a meeting longer than 15 minutes. We extended our offices to a new floor last September, and that room is not being used for meetings anymore.

You are right when you say we hire mostly guys with a good track record, instead of having a junior team. We are proud of the quality we deliver, and a junior team would not be able to pull off most of the great things we do! About the professional progression, on one hand, we are a small team, and therefore we do not have unlimited career options in terms of roles. On the other, we offer an array of learning tools, and we strive to continuously offer our team opportunities to get in touch and learn new techs. Furthermore, the career plan was updated last quarter, and changes were rolled on January 2016. So far feedback has been great.

Regarding our holiday policy, it needs to comply with the legal standard of Portugal. Which means that all company holiday plan needs to be closed before April ends. Changes to that plan are treated on a request basis to our HR manager, and requests are reviewed and approved at least once per week. We follow a first-come-first-served approach… The first elements to present their holiday plans tend to have them approved right away. If one slacks on this and leaves the plan to be presented on the last day of the deadline, their plans need to accommodate the early-birds requests. Again, we do this because that’s how the HR policies work in Portugal, and we have no option except being compliant.

Again, thanks for the time invested in posting this recommendation. Feedback is most appreciated, even the negative one, as this is key for continuous improvement.... MoreLess
