CEO Fails - Marketing Book'n'Bloom Employee Review

Promising idea, great collaboration between colleagues.

A tech startup with a popinjay salesman for CEO, who used the investors' money and his position for funding his own vacations around the world. At the end he shamelessly tried to put the blame on his unpaid employees for his failure to set a strategy for the company, allocate capital for its needs and fulfil any of his promises, since only a joke of a CEO running the company for three years would ask unpaid employees mostly hired during its last year "WTF? Where did the money go?"... I find it hard to believe that this person poses as a startup mentor. One can't know for sure what kind of advice he ever gave to the company's co-founders and COOs, but it's more than obvious that his attitude set an example among them and ultimately turned Book'n'Bloom from a clever idea to a complete disaster.

Cool product and initial great vision

Management used continues bullying techniques to force as many employees as possible to leave the company to avoid compensation expenses as per local laws in Greece and Spain. The CEO gave hope and told lies using all sorts of excuses for up to 5 months promising every week we will receive funds and finally get paid. But the funds never came and we were never paid. We worked for free for all these months. They should never be allowed nor trusted to open a business again.
