Pros

They are centrally located in the FiDi and boast electricity and running water

Cons

- Product that is trying to displace homegrown solutions that companies are completely happy with and don't see their removal as necessary - Nepotism and Cronyism at it's finest, as many of the people worked together in former lives. Most recent hires have been based on knowing each other vs. actual qualification - Belittling of people in all departments and some subtle racism to those of other ethnic backgrounds - Huge turnover in the sales department, and the management from the VP level up is all new and found success in larger companies which isn't translating well to running a startup - Even the most senior rep in 2014 only achieved 30% of their quota and all others fell short as well - Partners in the ecosystem have not been that receptive, as they don't see the platform as that valuable, nor disruptive - Growth has been stalled and many surrounding restaurants trump the annual sales of Cloudwords and most of the revenue goes to the bar areas of these local companies anyway

Pros

The company pays well for top performers and rewards them handsomely.

Cons

Because the company and business are smaller some reps aren't willing to put in the work. This includes prospecting and traveling. Cloudwords for the time being just doesn't operate like Oracle.

Pros

The product at one time was popular in the market. The agnostic aspect of the platform for finding LSPs plus connector capability to all major marketing automation platforms was instrumental to the limited growth that occurred.

Cons

This company refuses to pay employees out on the equity that they purchased after it recently exited. This is illegal and shameful. The founders should be ashamed.
