Pros

-Sunwave operates in a niche market, offering upside potential for growth. -Remote work is a positive aspect, providing flexibility for employees. -There are dedicated employees who genuinely strive to do what is best for the customers.

Cons

Fear, intimidation, and secrecy are prevalent management tactics within the company. The company shows no interest in receiving feedback or ideas from talented employees to improve the business or customer service. The product lacks a standard architecture and well-thought-out usability and design. Limited coding responsibilities are entrusted to only a few individuals, as the owner believes he is the only capable person. The C-level executives demonstrate a lack of concern for the well-being of the employees. The corporate leadership at Sunwave seems to lacks the necessary understanding of how to effectively run the company. The company functions more like a custom engineering shop rather than a software product-focused organization. The overall low morale within the company leaves employees feeling trapped and hampers their ability to support customers or contribute to product advancement. Overall, despite the potential in a niche market and the benefits of remote work, the shortcomings at Sunwave include inadequate corporate leadership, poor product structure and design, a toxic work environment, and a lack of interest in employee feedback. These factors contribute to low morale and hinder the company's ability to provide effective customer service and product development.

Pros

Leadership actually listens — ideas can turn into action fast. You get to own things. No micromanaging, no hiding. Just real accountability. Smart, scrappy team that genuinely wants to solve problems. Lots of room to grow if you’re willing to take initiative. The work matters — helping customers who do meaningful work themselves.

Cons

Still building — processes aren’t always clean, and you need to be comfortable figuring things out. Cross-team communication has improved, but there's room to tighten it up. Pace isn’t for everyone. You have to thrive in ambiguity and move with urgency.

Pros

The company has potential and there are good people who genuinely want to make it successful. Depending on the team, there can be opportunities to learn and contribute to meaningful projects.

Cons

There is still a noticeable divide between the organizations that merged, which creates challenges with collaboration and alignment. Internal systems and processes remain disjointed, and the CRM is not functioning at the level needed to support employees effectively.
