Incompetent, ego-driven people leading a company that has no customers, product or revenue
Pros
People are all very very smart and capable. Great benefits Fantastic meals from professional chef Healthy snacks beyond compare Dart guns and darts all over the place Posh offices (formerly Whats App ) Amazing parties, off sites, industry events Some good technologies
Cons
Company has no direction except the tact taken by its ego-driven CEO whose vision seems impervious to any business common sense, market realities, customer needs or market feedback. CEO sucks the life and energy out of the room, naysayers are promptly humiliated in company-wide meetings. Leaving employees are bad-mouthed during all-hands. The vision is forced onto employees regardless of their experience and it isn't working as evidenced by lack of users of any kind, partnerships or revenue given the amount of money raised Sr. mgmt is self-delusional, constantly talking, never listening to customers or partners Company is in serious trouble, un-Godly amount of cash raised with 5 strategic directions because none of them have any real traction. Partners really don't understand what Quixey actually does. Power play at the top with extreme conflict, whole company knows they don't get along. With money raised, company thinks it's the next Google, but it can't execute. People talk about executing in every meeting but so many meetings, no one has time to execute. People work 10-5, no sense of urgency whatsoever
