Collaborative teams hindered by poor executive management

Business Outlook

Pros

Solid model, definitely a market need for the service. Teams are collaborative and helpful.

Cons

Executive management is deplorable. CEO is an idea guy - great for a startup, but awful for sustaining a business model. C-suite makes decisions based on immediacy instead of long term success. HUGE push to use AI with zero direction on strategic use. There is no long term plan other than to make money for executive level. The "culture" is pushed big time, but the culture is "orange". It's not helpful, inspiring, or useful. Company appears to be performing a "quiet layoff" by letting handfuls of employees go at regular intervals rather than letting go large numbers all at once to avoid press while increasing profit margin by decreasing overhead.
