Welcome to another exciting edition of our “Employee in the Spotlight” series! Today, we’re thrilled to introduce you to Jente, a key member of our #AWSome CloudOps Team. Join us as we delve into Jente’s unique and inspiring journey at Cloudar.
What do you like about working for Cloudar?
You know that feeling when work doesn’t feel like work? That’s what I get here. There’s this awesome vibe in my CloudOps Team where we can crack jokes and share funny moments, but when issues/urgent tasks arise, I can blindly count on my team to have my back and they will stand by me to solve anything.
Over time, the people I work with have become friends. We often find ourselves hanging out after hours, going out for dinner or drinks, and teaming up in online games. And it’s not just us in CloudOps; this camaraderie can be found throughout the entire company. Whether it’s a consultant or a manager, everyone’s ready to roll up their sleeves when things get tough.
The fact that a work-related environment can turn out to become something like this makes me enjoy my work, I always look forward to office days to hang out with everyone because of that.
What memory or anecdote will stick with you?
We were all set for a team dinner after office hours, but just as we were about to leave, a critical issue popped up. Without hesitation, my entire team immediately sat down again and helped out where they could. We stayed until the customer gave us the green light and rushed to the all-you-can-eat restaurant (a bit late, but hey!). We had an amazing night; we ate, drank, laughed, and I realized something – This wasn’t just a gathering with colleagues, but a get-together of close friends who have each other’s backs.
What’s your most important work milestone so far?
For me personally, I’d say growing as a person.
AWS contains hundreds of services and I don’t think a day goes by where I don’t learn anything new when solving issues. So technical-wise, my knowledge has grown substantially by joining Cloudar, we have some really clever people running around who also happen to be very open to sharing knowledge and helping you out.
So yeah, that’s my Cloudar story. It’s more than a job; it’s a place where I’ve found friends, faced challenges together, and grown more than I ever thought possible. Here’s to more laughs, learnings, and all-you-can-eat dinners!
