Pros

Really great co-workers in Waltham that are easy to get along with. Pay is decent and work/life balance is pretty much whatever you choose. Free lunches on Friday are above average. The local HR and office management is great and have created a cozy work environment. The chickenllama is an adorable mascot!

Cons

The dysfunction in the engineering organization makes it practically impossible to get anything done. Small tasks usually turn into huge projects because of all the accumulated technical debt and bikeshedding. There's terrible development practices, QA practices, release practices, operations practices, security practices, communication, leadership, death march projects, etc. You name it, CloudLock engineering is bad at it. Bad practices wouldn't necessarily be a problem if management expended any effort to actually fix the issues. They might occasionally say that they agree with you but nothing ever changes. There have been one or two reorganizations during my tenure, I guess to try to "fix" the problems, but it's still the same ambiguous processes, broken leadership, and teams with ambiguous purposes and no accountability.

Thanks very much for your feedback, both positive and constructive. We’re glad to hear you’ve found the people and environment so pleasant to work with! On the flip side, we hear you on some of the things that aren’t working. One of the interesting challenges of joining a startup is figuring out how to scale both a product and team and the change management required to navigate those phases of growth. At this point we’re a year plus post acquisition with Cisco and have the resources and buy-in we need to address engineering practice improvements that you recommended. We’re committed to continuous improvement and hope you’ll be part of that process. -Jess, Head of Employee Success

Pros

The culture, the passion, the excitement to dominate the space: It begins with the Co-Founders and reverberates throughout the company. I find myself surrounded by brilliant and charismatic people on a daily basis. Strong leadership exists at every level and every voice is heard. CloudLock is a phenomenal place to work.

Cons

I think the base salaries for Sales positions are low. Hopefully this is a "startup" effect. Fortunately, I have all the confidence in the world that CloudLock is just beginning to see success. The future is bright.

Pros

CloudLock has great leadership and culture. The technology is bleeding edge and is going to reshape how security professionals handle risk in the cloud.

Cons

I would not change much. The compensation and benefits are great. The company is growing so fast from employees to customers, CloudLock needs to continue investment into their employees and customers.
