Lay off without notice No vision of the product future They keep changing product and app in between No proper planning and lots of pressure to deliver without really know the work you are delivering will be of any use to the clients as they keep discarding them later due to lack of budget very bad people management CTO insults people and downgrades them without trying to help A big mess overall - you don't even know when you might be sacked even though you are giving your best to move the project forward - no respect of your work/time dedicated
