Pros
-Your teammates are generally pretty good folks -The brand is established, so it is a known name, though it is deteriorating lately
Cons
-They will preach "Core Values", but don't actually live by them -This place is an ENEMY TO SALES people.... they do NOT like paying commission, and will find any way possible to creatively get out of that obligation -COO is public enemy number 1 (with the CRO making a strong campaign for that spot) and wants to remove all direct sales and turn it into a partner channel driven reseller business only ("so we don't have to pay commissions to sales people anymore and improve our margins") -Very much a "do as I say, not as I do" culture -If you are friends of one of the founders, then you're in good shape. Similarly, if you're willing to kiss the ring of any founder, then you're in good shape -CEO preaches how this is a great opportunity to create "generational wealth" for all employees, since we are all "owners". Yet, their value is not, nor will be, significant enough to create any significant personal revenue event. But, all the founders have been able to handsomely compensate themselves, their friends, and family -VERY disorganized, across all teams (manufacturing, support, sales, product, etc.) -New CRO has been terrible, and very offensive in the office (small-man syndrome) -There has been NO NEW PRODUCT releases since refreshing the software interface 2 years ago. It wasn't until this year that we had more than 2 people on the entire product team -Sales plans constantly change, and the CEO takes months to approve any plan -It is a founder-led business where all 4 of them are mentally checked out ---The CEO is focused on buying his yacht ---The CTO is focused on traveling the world ---The CBDO (his title is a revolving door) is focused on building his 15k+ sq. ft. mansion and his ranch in WY ---The co-founder over manufacturing is more focused on his Porsche ---They are all checked out, but won't stop micromanaging...an odd paradigm
