However, the experience shifts significantly when it comes to leadership. At the executive level—particularly among the co-founders—decision-making is highly inconsistent and often driven by short-term thinking rather than a clear long-term strategy. There is no defined roadmap for where the company is heading over the next few years, and priorities tend to change rapidly based on immediate pressures rather than structured planning. This inconsistency is also reflected in leadership behavior. For example, it is not uncommon to receive strong praise and recognition one week—such as public compliments from the CEO—only to be told shortly after that performance is insufficient and expectations have suddenly shifted. This creates confusion around what success actually looks like. From an organizational perspective, there is a clear pattern of short-term execution overriding long-term vision. Employees are often hired based on an ambitious growth narrative and a compelling strategic vision, but in practice, execution rarely extends beyond immediate quarterly targets. The turnover in leadership roles reflects these challenges. Within the sales organization alone, there have been up to 7 (!!!!) different leaders in just four years. This instability appears to stem from an unwillingness at the top to incorporate external expertise or adapt leadership approaches to support scaling. Experienced hires brought in to drive growth often struggle to succeed within this environment. There is also a noticeable gap in leadership experience. Much of the senior leadership team has grown into their roles internally without formal management training or prior experience in scaling SaaS organizations. While internal growth can be a strength, in this case it appears to limit the company’s ability to adopt best practices and mature operationally. Feedback culture at the leadership level is another concern. Constructive criticism or alternative perspectives are not always received professionally; discussions can become emotional rather than solution-oriented, which discourages open dialogue and continuous improvement. The recruitment team does a strong job of attracting talent, presenting a compelling vision of growth and career development. However, there is often a disconnect between this vision and reality. For example, all sales hires made in 2025—up to nine individuals in total—were no longer with the company by the end of the year. Finally, there appears to be limited transparency and oversight at the board level regarding internal operations. Leaders brought in from outside often lack the mandate or influence to drive meaningful change, reinforcing the existing patterns rather than evolving them.
