Twice a year, Cloudrivers gather for the Tech Retreat event. The goal is to collectively explore new technologies and build impressive demos using them. In practice, Tech Retreat is an internal hackathon for the company ─ a creative collaborative effort, an opportunity to learn, and a way to spend some quality face-to-face time with colleagues from different parts of Finland, all accompanied by good food and drinks!

Everyone is welcome to participate, learn, and share their expertise. Sharing knowledge and experiences among colleagues is an integral part of our daily routine, and to facilitate this, we organize the monthly Techdrivers Live event where Cloudrivers themselves present interesting project experiences and new technologies to each other.

Developing our own expertise is so crucial to us that we’ve chosen it as one of the company’s values. We foster learning and development in various ways: certifications, internal Techdrivers Live and Tech Retreat events, seminar and conference participation are all vital.

It’s essential to us that everyone continuously learns something new at work and strengthens their existing skills. In addition to collaborative and informal activities, we also encourage individuals to self-improve. Ten percent of everyone’s annual working hours are allocated for learning, and completing certifications is rewarded not only with words of praise but also financially.

Benefits

We believe that work and business are at their best when our employees are doing well. We invest in benefits that offer our employees flexible opportunities to live their lives in a meaningful way. We don’t have ping-pong tables or an office barista; instead, we focus on ways to make every employee’s daily life as smooth as possible, regardless of time and place, both at work and in their free time. Our long list of benefits includes, among other things, lunch and recreation benefit, wide health insurance, billing bonus, device budget, home internet connection, swag, and rental cottages.
