Cons

Inexperienced CEO.

Extremely high Product & Engineering turnover.

No long-term vision; always changing and still remains unclear.

Zero job security and no growth opportunity.

"Transparency" is a catchphrase but not valued or practiced.

Ruthless, unannounced, and unsubstantiated layoff of 3/4 of the Customer Success team (Directors & Managers included).

Too huge reliance on TWO customers, both of which are unhappy and exploring alternative technologies.

Advice to Management

Get your act together. Hire experienced and empathetic VPs and leaders. Learn to treat your employees with respect. Remember they are people as well. Practice what you preach in your "Core Values."
