Vantaggi
Initially the roster of knowledgable experts that could propel the company was impressive.
The VC partner also impressive.
The offer of employee stock and options was positive . . . it was all a lie.
Svantaggi
-Executives lied from day 1 to staff, partners, and clients about the product.
-There is NO strategy. CEO has little to know expertise in the insurance industry, nor does the marketing staff.
-The health product VP has removed his LinkedIn profile as you would see he actually has no expertise in global health until he joined CoverGo.
-They hire not based upon expertise, but whether they think you have relationships that will lead to their success.
-Lack of clear and consistent reporting lines.
-If you travel, be prepared to loan the company your money as there is untimely repayment of personal credit cards.
-Proper delivery of projects with locally staffed and knowledgeable team members.
-Upper management's failure to take guidance.
-Stop misrepresenting the product, service, and project delivery timelines and capabilities.
-Go through a proper hiring process. They have former executives of the company that continue to call themselves "Partners" that claim to have expertise they never did.
-HR and the Executive team never completed a valid background check, but rather simply "believed" the executive.
-I had an attorney review the "Employee Stock Option Plan," ESOP . . . by his estimation it was pure fantasy and would not stand up in court.
