The fun is over
The fun is over
The product is incredible, and almost everyone wants to use it. Doors open at C-level, and the product is starting to be used in ever more strategic projects.
Within one year, the CEO, CRO, CMO, and CFO have left the company.
New sales management is introducing a radically different culture. Change was needed, but we're now headed in the total opposite direction by people who have no open-source background.
Lots of people (about 10%) have been laid off recently.
Besides the changes, middle management is still incapable of injecting passion or even out-of-the-box thinking. It doesn't matter if you're doing a crappy job as long as you report on it properly.
There's no compelling reason to buy MongoDB to begin with, unless you need the support contract as an insurance policy.
You need to find something to sell for real.
I wish you were looking at how management has done the job over the past two years, and not only figures and ratios. You would have then made different laying-off decisions, much more beneficial to the business.
