Pros

Good snacks, competitive pay and ok product

Cons

Mid level sales managers have as much experience as Donald Trump. Managers are all talk, and can never actually do the job themselves. The CEO who is the former CTO is one of the most arrogant geeks you will ever meet. He talks down on everyone who can't code, because he thinks that is what makes him smart, while he has zero people skills and knows nothing about life outside java script. This company is going nowhere no matter what they think.

The marketing team does an ok job now after years of being paid to do nothing. Engineers continue to believe their managers about what they are building, but are clueless that these are dumb features that everyone has.

Advice to Management

Take this total loss as a lesson in life. You are not better than anyone because some people you don't know let you borrow some money.

Because someone let you borrow money, it does not mean you are smarter than anyone.
