Pros

The people I worked with at ChatID were great: good attitudes, strong work ethic, collaborative. The use case is a very strong and their technology is competitive. The spirit of the culture and values statements are good.

Cons

1) The founders have no experience running a business and, while they claim to look for people with experience to help grow the business, they do not trust or listen to the input those people provide. When these people did their jobs and called attention to the fact that the founders weren't listening, they were fired. 2) There was also no transparency from the CEO and CTO. 3) There was a strange reluctance to hire any engineering management, leaving the junior (but talented) engineers floating without technical guidance. 4) Senior management touted the values outlined for the company but absolutely did not live them.

Pros

When things were good, they were great. People loved working there until everything went downhill.

Cons

- Inexperienced management - Too much focus on selling nonexistent products instead of perfecting and innovating on what we had - Bad hiring - The CEO and the Board turned a blind eye to a plethora of bad decisions until it was too late - Laying off 1/2 the company during the holidays says a lot about management - Changing the name of the company to "Welcome"

Pros

Great idea. Hired great talent and wonderful people who genuinely loved what they where doing and believed in it. Had amazing departments heads who's teams kept their eyes on the target and consistently delivered what was asked of them.

Cons

The C level members of this team have charisma. I list this as a con, because that is exactly ALL they have. They can look you in the eye, and lie to you, you both know what they're saying is a lie, and you tell them thank you, and you mean it. You walk away and feel guilty because you don't believe a lie. That might work when you're running a prison camp. It fails spectacularly when you try it with a technology company. When department heads and seniors in the company who are greatly respected in the company just disappear - take note. Especially when you already know the personality types of the officers of the company. Something really bad is afoot. Run away, and don't look back.
