Pros

They have a very open door policy. No one sits in an office, not even the CEO or CFO. Everyone has a great sense of humor and everyone is very approachable.

Cons

There are a lot of meetings but they are a necessity to our success

Pros

Professional improvement is encouraged Some very talented people to work with Pretty decent work/life balance

Cons

Lack of leadership or clear direction Executive in-fighting which has lead almost the entire exec team to quit Absolutely no repercussions for sub-par work Hyping products and/or services to customers as fully fledged offerings when the reality is that those offerings aren't even past an Alpha testing stage yet. Too many egos and bad attitudes Refusal to adopt modern technology stacks or up to date best practices Dragging legacy tech and offerings along through the years

Seriously appreciate the feedback. I’m glad you saw value in professional improvement and the talent we have at Atmosera. There’s a lot we’ve done (can always do more) around development and providing opportunities for folks to expand their professional knowledge… especially in technology. I’m disappointed your experience around leadership was subpar or unclear. The organization, our employees, all of us – even our customers – need to know where we’re headed (our vision), what success looks like, and how/when we’ll measure progress… and then, why it all matters to Atmosera and us as employees (in our individual and team roles). I’ll take a look at how I/we better communicate all of this beyond the methods already in place. On the tech side of things, I believe, over the past 4 years, we’ve been transitioning a company from a Portland-focused colocation & hosting company to a leading, trusted, global hybrid Cloud Solution Provider -- one capable of exceptional delivery with modern technology & services… that transition doesn’t happen overnight nor does it happen without careful planning. Relative to your advice, I have every intention of having Atmosera be here in five years (and beyond)… and one of the reasons I believe this is because I care immensely about this business, our clients, and all of us as employees… if that’s not coming across elsewhere on the team, I will address it. Thanks again for your feedback.

Pros

The lifeblood of the company is it's everyday employees, from technical support, to finance, to engineering. The people not in the spotlight, but keeping everything together and doing it with pride....I loved these people! These are some of the best people I've ever worked with in my career. Good benefits and compensation Great solution architects and engineering Interesting market and opportunity The newer executive team is solid, but I also thought the previous management team was great too Fun team events

Cons

Too much turnover. In less than 6 months our entire team turned over and 3 executives were gone too. Unfortunately, the CEO has some major personality issues. He's charming and will bring you into his thought process and inner circle, but make one or two mistakes and you're all of sudden untrustworthy. And to make matters worse, he never has a good thing to say about anybody, the CFO, sales team, marketing....everyone else is to blame..he's never accountable. I just don't get what the board sees in him. He's a good person, but a lousy boss. Another reviewer had mentioned leaving on a positive note like me yet feeling like the CEO said bad things about me on the outside....I have felt the same treatment. The place is dark and cubes outdated. The HR team was very robotic and not interested in feedback. The onboarding was a mess.

I appreciate the constructive perspective and I thank you for the positive elements. I will say, the three executives left almost a year prior to your review here – one to AWS for a dream job, one to be the Managing Partner at the creative firm who developed/managed our website and does a bunch of cool/creative/cutting edge things in their space, and the other, well… yes, she just left after a quick rise supported heavily by me from an IC role as an existing sales account executive to designing/leading our entire CSM team. She found something that was a better, more positive fit for her. In all three cases, we've found positive, experienced leaders who continue to elevate our game. They are amazing additions. Relative to trust… trust is the foundation of a well run company and all sides of the company equation can never stop doing the things that earn and build trust. The ability to earn and build trust is what every employee – all of us – must bring to the table at Atmosera… trust is at the center of why customers are with us, trust is at the center of our success. Trust in our business is more critical than in most businesses. We architect, deploy, and manage mission-critical infrastructure and our customers trust us to take care of that 24x7x365 when they outsource the management to Atmosera. This may seem innocuous to someone reading that… but when you truly interact with our customers around the nation/globe, you’ll quickly understand that quite literally lives, jobs, and company reputations rely on us to deliver on our promises. Hospitals, health clinics, and other healthcare companies run on our infrastructure, SaaS companies run on our infrastructure, financial institutions run on our infrastructure, government runs on our infrastructure, emergency response providers run on our infrastructure, some of the coolest brands run on our infrastructure (to give a few examples)… the moment we violate trust with our clients, the moment we don’t live up to our ability to provide a seamless infrastructure experience… that’s when someone else does and the process of coming to that realization is painful, expensive, and… really way opposite of fun. It takes a team and no one is perfect, so mistakes do happen, I make / own them, etc… no one has ever been fired for making a mistake at Atmosera… but there is a common-sense level of performance expectation that mirrors the expectation and tolerance of those that we support. We trust that we all understand that.
