Cons

Shiny object syndrome. Build and ship things without accountability in measured impact.

High turnover at leader levels. Departures in the past 1.5 years.

EVP Engineering Entire second line eng management (2 VPs, multiple directors) CPO Entire 2nd line of product management and design (twice!). Chief Architect/co-founder

The SaaS market is competitive and the expectations are high from Wall Street. This is not the type of company that can win.

Advice to Management

Look at the stock price more. It’s not a low status activity (quote from founder).
