- Almost impossible to make the bonus since they’re always changing the terms on you
- Products are an absolute mess that don’t work as advertised and as AA marketing would like you to believe. The absolute worst product quality that I’ve experienced in my 10 years in software. We constantly have to feed lies to disgruntled customers that the products are unstable now, but will be better in future releases.
- The company is in sort of a “no man’s” land now where the founders don’t have a clear exit strategy. With UiPath releasing its numbers and about to IPO, AA knows it isn’t remotely close to that level and highly unlikely to achieve them. The founders constantly have to lie to new employees on weekly Town Halls that an IPO is coming, while everyone who has been here for a year or more knows that this is a pipe dream. With existing large cap enterprise companies unlikely to buy this company at even the last funding round valuation, the founders clearly seem to be flailing around. Your experienced CFO doesn’t just bail if you’re really planning on filing an S-1 in the next few months. The point: don’t be fooled into thinking you’re joining a high-growth start up with great future potential and that the equity is worth anything.
