Pros

-My coworkers were wonderful, I thoroughly enjoyed the picnics and barbecues involved while working there. -I learned a tremendous amount and was able to grow exponentially. Atmosera is a great place to step into the tech industry and get your footing and hands on experience in a quickly growing cloud hybrid environment. Because of Atmosera I now have more of an idea about where I would like to focus my talents in this industry.

Cons

-The cons far outweigh the positives of working at Atmosera, I worked there for a year and ~6 months, and I would not go back again unless there is a change with management, as well as organizational changes with client management and operational management - stop siloing!! -A specific person was given the task to lead in an area where they lack the skills necessary to be a true leader. This has impacted the company tremendously. This person manipulates situations when employees make mistakes by using fear based tactics to get the results he desires, thus creating a far worse outcome - a toxic environment and high turnover. It may get the results desired in the short term, but is not a healthy place to stay if you end up making any kind of mistake. Keep your nose clean, show good work ethic, and you won't even notice the toxic environment if working in operations. Most current employees are aware but some continue to be surprised to hear the experiences of those in the line of fire. The CEO is making steps to improve this...after the last batch of us left he seems to be more aware now then ever. I believe with time things may change, and I truly do hope Atmosera continues to grow at the pace they have with the people they have. There are some extremely talented folks who work there. I value every connection I made and look forward to hearing the good things that are accomplished by all in the future.

Thanks for the response here and apologies for not responding earlier... though probably a good thing as it has allowed for activities to take place. We have now consolidated three organizations under one group - client operations - and hired a new VP from out of Oregon to lead this focused organization (no silos). We've had a lot of success in 2019 and we'll continue to augment/elevate the positive things we're doing and leverage data points and action to improve the things that challenge us.

Pros

The experience gained is amazing. With the amount of different environments and the different supported systems, this is a great opportunity to gain tons of knowledge in the azure cloud. There is opportunity to expand and grow new skills and gain azure certifications and work with different departments. Co-workers are great and extremely knowledgeable, in most cases experts in their domains. There is always opportunity to gain some extra hours and get ot. There really isn't a slow time. So learning is continuous.

Cons

It takes a personal dedication level to your own craft to excel. Burn out is real and there is high turnover rate that adds to huge workloads. It can be easy to fly under radar when there are expirenced co-workers completing the hard tasks, but all this does is make those willing to step up to eventually leave and continue the cycle. Other than those who take extreme ownership and offer assistance to those who are willing to listen and learn, its on you to build knowledge as training programs are lacking. Don't expect any real off time or holidays off, as most of pto days are to counter the burnout. If you are able to weather the storms, you will deff get picked up elsewhere with higher position.
