Pros

Lots of smart people Well connected founders, have shown they can raise capital Some of them genuinely care about doing the right thing and accomplishing something valuable

Cons

Company priorities from the top versus the day-to-day were a little out of sync. Market fit seems hard to come by even though the problem space of legacy systems is huge and ripe for opportunity. Customer feedback was poor, as shown in the retention in the sales funnel, especially with prospective customers outside the founders network. Demoware nature of various prototypes inspired little confidence and buy-in inside the company, even if the ideas were sound.

Pros

This a section that I can leave blank

Cons

The recruitment team is a real bottleneck here. They lack the ability to keep candidates updated, and provide no feedback. I know this is probably the norm in this industry, but as a company to claim to be different, I was disappointed in the giant waste of time as they strung me along for weeks without an update. I basically had to withdraw myself from contention. If you want to recruit top talent, you need to start with your recruitment. Tech seemed cool though.
