Good christ I don't even know where to start. Apart from the CEO being a tone-deaf sociopathic I-went-to-Harvard-so-I'm-very-smart joke of a leader, the company has and has continued to have troubling internal issues that ultimately lead to an extremely frustrating work environment. The CEO can't figure out how to let anyone do their job without constantly jamming his hands into the pot while adding absolutely nothing of value to the conversation, and the overall product has been less than impressive as time has gone on. For as long as Suplari has been in operation, the lack of actual value delivery is almost impressive. I do not think this is entirely reflective of the individuals working behind the scenes to make the product a reality, however it is deeply telling of the gross levels of incompetence on the part of upper management and the downright delusion that gets in the way of realistic operations and expectations. Too many pointless, time-wasting meetings, to say the least. There is an eye-rolling level of touting how "transparent" things are when the reality is, that isn't the case. In my time there, I saw high turnover, a ratchet Sales cycle with inconsistent and harmful leadership, layoffs that seem absolutely insane, and a vision that is clouded by the cataract-levels of dysfunction and ego. Startups can come with a large dose of crazy, but I'd say the biggest problem with this company is the fact that the top leadership is brazenly deaf on more levels than I can begin to count, and ultimately, bad leadership will sink even the best products. But that at least requires requires having a product.
