An absolute Mess

Pros

Great people. Talented and motivated folks who genuinely wanted the place to succeed.

Cons

As of July there was a 20% layoff in the company due to unsuccessful fundraising attempts and very poorly performing product set that have no prospects of becoming market viable. Everyone in the director to middle manager level left the company over a 5 month period prior to layoffs. Company relies very largely on gimmicky videos of things it cant do to drum up very limited sales. Pilot programs don’t result in new customers just further rejections of a poor product. Finally the worst of it is that the executive level people made it seem that all was ok just up until the abrupt layoffs, essentially lied to everyone.

Pros

There are genuinely no pros to working here.

Cons

- Over-hired. Excusable for a massive bureaucratic organization like Google, but it makes little sense that a 30 person team would aggressively over-hire and then lay people off months later. - Lack of humanity. I was given 2 weeks of severance pay, which is unusually low nowadays. - Poor product direction. Too many lines of products for a small startup, and customers don't like them. They were working on an autonomy product, a situational awareness product, AND a fleet management product while I was there. None of them were offered together.

Pros

Nice People with perks of free snacks and food. Boating during nice weather is a plus.

Cons

Management is not transparent and a lot of churn. No where to move up. Working with a limited budget so no in house infrastructure. Early employees are clicky.
