Pros

The technology is interesting and the people are great. As it's a small company, there is an opportunity to work with different departments.

Cons

The "C-suite" are individuals who don't have experience in running a business and are struggling to grow the business to its full potential. They don't have a true voice with the CEO, as if they challenge the CEO's view, they are at risk of falling out of favour, so often decisions are made with people disagreeing in the background. The team excuse the behaviour by saying "that's just the CEO". The CEO doesn't respect the people he hires and is extremely untrusting. He genuinely believes that he can do everyone's jobs better but is just too busy to do it. If you challenge his views, he reacts very negatively and sometimes aggressively. He speaks about his staff behind their backs and can be very rude to their faces too. There is no trust or openness to voice opinions and people don't feel valued. The company is leaking staff because of this which is a shame because it could be something really good.

Pros

The changes since Saorsa have been very positive. Their lacklustre performance had dragged the company for years. The new leadership team brought structure, clearer accountability and better decision making. Sales processes are now consistent instead of chaotic. The focus is on the customers rather than excuses about why sales weren’t happening. Support teams actually follow through rather than leaving people hanging. The culture is more open, direct and realistic about what needs to be done.

Cons

Cleaning up the legacy issues from the Saorsa era took time and created some bumps. A few people still miss the old informal style even though it caused most of the problems. Higher expectations now mean underperformers don’t last long.

Pros

People from the US and few key people from the UK that we worked with. Before the merger, Saorsa was thriving in North America with fast processes, customer oriented, and everybody working towards the same goal. Not perfect, but literally a team getting the job done.

Cons

Current Management, C-levels and Board are clearly not prepared to run the business. While the US team was super fast paced, trying to make it happen, the UK team is extremely bureaucratic more worried about forms, processes rather than its customers and results. Very different culture as well. In the US everybody wanted to grow together but willing to wear many hats. In the UK, if it's not their box, the will tell you to look for respective party. Also, too many managers / directors and VPS compared to the company's size and very few people doing the actual work. No HR for over 2 years. No ownership for any process. High cost model created by starting an in-house warehouse vs, the old model (Leaner and with the necessary expertise to get the job done for the last half decade in the US). High probability of super-inflating the company's valuation to sell as the only value that the company has is its IP.
