Pros

Great Technology

Great Vision

Fun people to work with.

Strive to do your best.

Cons

Inexperience Management

Decisions come from one person with little room for feedback.

No Career Path - After entry level, you are stuck in a path to nowhere.

Internal fighting between development (engineering) and product management (business).

Everyone reports to one person. That one person has no time to talk and eventually ignores you.

Advice to Management

If you plan to keep good people and be the best, then you need to start to clean house from the top.

The people you promote to management aren't really good managers.

You provide HR applications; it's about time you develop your own HR team and create solid career paths in development and in other areas.

Right now, for example, your financial development team is headed by one person, and everyone reports to one person. There's no growth for anyone on the team. That one person has absolute control. That's not the best way to run your engineering team.
