Pros

I'm sure there are benefits to progressing on from this place including good training and experience, as it seems like there's a high rate of employment here.

Cons

Unfortunately I didn't meet the requirements for this training but I was known AFTER I moved in and spent so much money. They didn't reimburse me with my travel all the way to Manchester from London, even though they slipped up and wasn't allowed to train me. The people who handled this situation wanted to get me out of the building as quickly as possible without asking questions as to how or why I even got to this stage. I spent a lot of money to come here, and I even got a transfer from my pub job and switched my gym, which I'll have to switch back and takes time. I have a third in my degree and I understand they are following rules but to pretend like all this was my doing is completely out of order. Unprofessional and just a bit cynical to be honest. I had sent my recruiter a picture of my degree and he should have stopped me from there on, but he led me to believe my life was going to change. Most terrible experience of my life so far as it crushed my soul and I sat outside crying for an hour in front of the building. I really wanted this to happen.

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.
