Unfortunately, there were many. Upon leaving, I did not have a job and was offered a significant raise to stay, but still decided to leave because it was such a poor place to work. Promises made in the interview process were inaccurate and leadership for the customer facing role was untrained, inexperienced, and unprofessional. These inadequacies sadly go far beyond startup growing pains too. Overall, these are the three main areas where Tellius struggled during my tenure: 1. Company culture was terrible. There was no camaraderie or accountability, and the lack of honesty within the company and to the customers was very troubling. 2. Work / life balance was not respected. Management would contact employees during off hours, weekends, holidays, etc. and expect responses to happen immediately, and work to be done then. 3. Product leadership was poor and non-responsive to customer needs, and they actively did not support customer facing roles. Communication was nonexistent, customer input was often not heard on the product roadmap, and progress was extremely slow.
