Vantaggi
Worked with smart people, who wanted to build a successful multinational company Most of the people I encountered were professional
Svantaggi
The CEO is not honest with his employees. His words (rocketship, unicorn, thousands of customers, industry standard AI platform) do not align with the actions of the company (customer churn, massive layoffs, information silos, marketing a product that has not been developed). He has no experience outside of building this company that he cofounded out of college, yet holds himself out as a serial entrepreneur. He’s squandered investor money with little to show for it. Buying companies to show top line growth only to increase your burn without properly integrating. Spending lavishly on sales kick offs without material sales to show for it. He’s lost touch with where he came from. A company founded in India with hundreds of Indian employees making Indian wages. Yet he brags about expensive clothes and shoes and buying a grand piano for his new mutlimillion dollar house in the silicon valley is tone deaf. Especially when you ask these folks to work until 10 or 11 pm to join your global all hands. Especially when the company is not growing like he claims. The list goes on, but there is not much good that can come of this place.
