Pros
I've never worked anywhere that lives by the culture it says it lives by. Sure, many organisations that go through growth as CloudFactory does has it's growing pains and CloudFactory is no different. But, what makes CloudFactory special is that it really cares about its people and culture because it knows that if it gets this right, then we will achieve the mission together. And that's what it is all about.
Cons
Being completely transparent and speaking truth and life; as a business we always wanted to work in a distributed (remote) way. But, we hadn't got to the point of actually operationalising this before Covid hit. CloudFactory has been forced to live that dream much earlier than expected and consequently we haven't got the tools or systems in place that will allow us all to work remotely really effectively. This can cause some frustration... but it's not major. We've all done amazing this past year and make the most of what we have. But for anyone coming into CloudFactory, they have to be able to work in an environment where things aren't always clear cut and systems aren't always configured perfectly. A small issue to deal with though in the grand scheme of things.
