Pros

Great idea. Hired great talent and wonderful people who genuinely loved what they where doing and believed in it. Had amazing departments heads who's teams kept their eyes on the target and consistently delivered what was asked of them.

Cons

The C level members of this team have charisma. I list this as a con, because that is exactly ALL they have. They can look you in the eye, and lie to you, you both know what they're saying is a lie, and you tell them thank you, and you mean it. You walk away and feel guilty because you don't believe a lie. That might work when you're running a prison camp. It fails spectacularly when you try it with a technology company. When department heads and seniors in the company who are greatly respected in the company just disappear - take note. Especially when you already know the personality types of the officers of the company. Something really bad is afoot. Run away, and don't look back.

Pros

Great people. Made lasting friendships here When we deployed our product, everyone felt involved No "facetime" and could work from home

Cons

The co-founders did not step down from c-level positions soon enough. New CEO is now there, but may be too late. No engineering team left Bad decision making with money: Name change to Welcome was a huge waste of time and money and not necessary // Sales training and all-company sales "certification" was a bigger waste of money and our product was not ready to be sold this way - the company stopped following this certification a couple months later. Even took engineers away from projects to get "certified".

Pros

When things were good, they were great. People loved working there until everything went downhill.

Cons

- Inexperienced management - Too much focus on selling nonexistent products instead of perfecting and innovating on what we had - Bad hiring - The CEO and the Board turned a blind eye to a plethora of bad decisions until it was too late - Laying off 1/2 the company during the holidays says a lot about management - Changing the name of the company to "Welcome"
