What is the hiring process like at Cloud Technology Solutions?

Pros

Nice office in Manchester city centre. Good benefits package including private insurance. Fast-paced growth, which could benefit you if you’re friends with management.

Cons

They talk a lot about diversity but their focus seems to be on junior roles rather than a balance across all levels. Management (on CTS services side) wants to make it seem like they care but they only listen and take advise into consideration if it benefits them. If there’s any constructive feedback or criticism, they take it as an attack and things remain the same. They’ve been hiring many senior roles, and the vast majority seem to have a previous professional relationship with a couple of people leading the company. Don’t let the recruitment process fool you! They conduct interviews to “make sure the process is fair” even if it’s clear they’ve already made a decision before the recruitment process even started. HR won’t help at all unless it fits the company’s agenda and some are even patronising when you raise an issue, making it seem like it’s all on you and not a toxic work environment. I joined a fantastic company, it’s a shame that it’s changed so much!

Pros

1. Tons of support and technical trainings especially if you have an engineering/analyst role. People are incentivised to get certified and develop new skills. 2. People help each other grow and appreciate the work of one another, managers guide and coach but leave you plenty of freedom to develop your own competence - very healthy culture! 3. Digital-ready, my remote onboarding experience was smooth. This shows the company is flexible enough in this on-and-off covid phase 4. Nice perks: unlimited holidays, company events, 10 days per year training, diversity/inclusion workshops, yoga classes, bike subscriptions etc. HR knows what they're doing.

Cons

I'll update this review once I find one
