Pros
Some good people working really hard.
Cons
I speak on behalf of MANY employees... The COO needs to go. Unapproachable personality. Dictatorship leadership. Threats of consequences or departures if not done his way. Everyone's scared of him and he's lost the faith of employees after 5 major strikes. Strike 1: Grew the company from 60 people to 250 +. Many would view this as a positive... but not when overhead costs have multiplied 5x and sales have plummeted. Strike 2: Spent 3 month in silence consulting with an outside firm. End result = a new logo change, branding colors and a new tagline. Cost company unrecoverable time and money to re-vamp presentation materials, website, etc. Unnecessary at the time given extensive product, sales and delivery issues. Strike 3: Hired an outside agency to re-think pricing and proposals. Didn't consult 1 single person on the sales team for advice but demanded sales use the new pricing or they'll be fired. Result = Months of confusion, and lost deals due to price. Strike 4: Launched a new virtual event platform and told everyone to abandon the old platform or there would be consequences. The new platform was the worst product rollout I've ever seen. It's not even 20% complete. Imaging trying to market, sell and deliver a car with no engine, no steering wheel, no tires, no oil and no drivers manual. DISASTER!!! Strike 5: Had a public facing Airshow Hologram launch which was a complete disaster. 70% of employees couldn't get it to work - let alone customers. Unacceptable to be a publicly traded company and not do proper testing before showing to the public.
