Vantaggi
The fact that they provide mission critical communication, is by definition noble. I heard they are remodeling the office. That's where the feel good story ends.
Svantaggi
The current CEO, former CEO, and early investors used the company to fatten their bank accounts, period. The cronyism on the Board is hard to overlook, but the performance since going public is telling. The company plateaued in the $125 million sales range, unable to leverage any of the proceeds from their IPO to acquire additional technology, position itself for an acquisition, or expand to new markets.. The Board and CEO have not been held accountable for the 50% drop in share prior since the IPO and the failure to propel the business. Instead, they've earned millions in additional grants and used countless employees throughout the organization as "fall guys" for their horrendous execution. The technology is obsolete, the executive competency would not be employed anywhere else in the Valley. The talent is C and D level at best. To beat their chest over their recent sales accomplishments is laughable. The averages Wal-Mart Super Center does $150 million per year, this company can't even deliver that.
