Pros
  • Great vision, created the TBM space.
  • Marketing is top notch.
  • Great engagement from other company CIOs, has really built a following.
  • Acquired lots of high-profile logos.
Cons
  • Internal politics poison the atmosphere.
  • Lots of backstabbing and passive aggressive behavior.
  • Management is incompetent, playing the leader shell game quite often.
  • The approach to product deployment is similar to MacArthur in WWII: throw bodies at it and then throw more, leading to high turnover and burnout.
  • A maniacal sales focus leads to customer retention issues.
Advice to Management

Any advice would be wasted, as they are a major part of the problem.
