The VC group was challenging leadership and the senior management was scrambling to meet the challenges. I think the CEO had the right ideas but his direct reports could not be trusted!! (maybe true for CEO too, not sure) As a result, they changed worker bees regularly once they squeezed out of them what they wanted. They let people go regularly - I think it was a way to pass blame if they did not deliver what the VC group wanted. Problem is senior management was not capable of articulating what it wanted. I think there are some highly qualified people there but if at first pass you did not deliver, there was no second chance even if it was not your fault. I delivered EXACTLY what was asked for (even though I had no training on the products!) and when they realized there was a bigger problem, then I was fired and became the scapegoat even though I could have delivered the right thing if asked. VERY questionable management practices!! Very much played favorites there. So if you take a job there, go in with your eyes open. Watch your back as they can not be trusted.
