Interesting software if approached in the U.S. market the right way
Svantaggi
From the outset I felt a strange vibe about CADDi. I first had to put together a project for the CEO about how I would approach starting the U.S. office's sales team, all the while this person was not in place, creating confusion around which role I was applying for. I present my project to Yushiro on Thursday, get asked to come in for an in-person interview on Friday, where I get the job offer and asked to begin work on the following Monday. This felt extremely rushed and salesy though I chalked it up to being a startup. I still had not met who would be my direct supervisor. The first time this had ever occurred for me in a job interview, My role, which I sold to myself as an opportunity to grow with a potentially up and coming company, was eliminated less than 2 months after it began. Throughout my tenure management continued to set lofty goals, without any evidence to back it, and chastised their employees when the mark was missed. The entire marketing plan was predicated around sending various gifts to warm up cold leads. Laughably ~65% of the time, due to CADDi's woefully inaccurate information, that individual was no longer at the organization, where they had often retired several years prior. They have easily spent tens of thousands of dollars for gifts on leads that were no longer there. Now alarm bells are going off about p&l from their many investors. The company is still grasping at straws at how to get into the U.S. market & will continue desperate measures to simply get their first sale in the country. If you enjoy being held to arbitrary figures, with no backing, by a CEO who will barely recognize a win but will jump down your throat with each loss then this is the place for you. If not, read the other comments, and choose another path.
