Pros
Working remotely is one of the pros
Cons
I worked at Blue Sentry Cloud for almost a year. Just a few weeks before completing the year, I was laid off during a short call, after which all of my system access was revoked immediately.
While I understand layoffs can happen due to market conditions, what surprised me was that no severance pay was provided. I was told the company only provides severance to employees who complete a full year. This left me with the impression that timing was managed carefully to avoid that obligation.
During my time there, I consistently worked with dedication. I did not take a real vacation, and during the holiday season, I stayed to ensure critical competition project was delivered on time before submission date, while others were away. I also invested time in mentoring other engineers on AI outside my normal working hours. I was told to log those hours toward my bonus, but in the end, that effort was not recognized.
In summary, while I value the experience and the work I accomplished, I did not feel that employee contributions were genuinely appreciated. My advice to future candidates is to be cautious and pay attention to how the company approaches employee support and recognition. Almost a year of dedication, with many issues (some I won’t even mention here), no vacation, and eventually laid off with no bonus or severance.
