Salary levels were completely under market level. When one would approach anything near the current market trend, the president would complain, demonstrating a complete lack of understanding of the industry they knew little about.
Incredible amount of micromanagement by the aforementioned upper echelon resulted in a false sense of lack of productivity.
High rate of turn over, particularly in the in-house software development team in favor of less knowledgeable and outdated contractors.
Employees would be asked to wait hours after normal work hours for one on one discussions with upper management that would never occur without word of cancellation.
Zero room for growth.
