Pros

- Learn a range of new IT skills in the academy. - Opportunity get industry recognised certifications. - Very helpful consultant liaisons and tech manager for onsite work. - Can start a career in IT without a computer science degree. - Work on real, challenging projects with clients.

Cons

- Not everyone in the academy gets a contracted role. In some instances the proportion of people in a training intake that gets a contract from QA is quite low. - Communication while on the bench is poor. - Little room for promotions and progression as a consultant after a few years. - First annual review pay increase is fixed - pay increase is not dependent on job performance or skill.

Pros

The skills platform developed by the former Cloud Academy team was innovative and well-received by customers.

Cons

Since my voluntary departure, the company has proven to be unreliable and somewhat cagey. Under the terms of their articles of association and ISD, they had 12 months to repurchase my preferred shares. Nearly 18 months have passed, and they refuse to repurchase my shares or communicate any reasons for the delay. One might conclude that they are dealing with financial difficulties.
