Approves of CEO
Pros

Competent support, marketing, and other staff.

Excellent technical teams.

Core teams devoid of too much politics.

Cons

Does not scale well. Software management is too technical. They don't know how to offload and empower technical decisions. Software vision is not very clear.

Advice to Management

Refresh middle to BU level management with real managers who can manage people, teams, and geographies, and not to continue with people who know the product the best.

Real change can happen only if you bring in new outside talent. Too many insider promotions will hurt in scaling – they still work with a startup mentality.

Success as a small company does not equate to the same when you are big.
