Pros
Only working programs at company are those where employees -- both senior and middle management -- create skunkwork projects invisible to CEO (Jeff Mullen). Universal distrust of CEO bonds all employees. We want it to succeed but CEO undermines all trust, initiative, culture and spirit.
Cons
Having worked here for a little over two years, I'm not sure I'll list Dynamics on my resume. As a senior tech executive, I had many options and was impressed by the investment raised, board and staff I met initially. What occurred next is a tragedy for everyone past and present at Dynamics Inc, getting to know the CEO. Walking down the hallway, he'd find some reason to call you out for weakness (even first day), then you walk 10 feet away and other employees would be badmouthing him for his bad decisions and systemic volatility. This general employee distrust benchmarks the company in every division. Not one person I know does not have a resume in play and will share that with others. One senior lead went as far to call the CEO "It," as in: "We should finish this meeting before 'It' shows up." That may seem funny, but it simplifies the amount of vitriol pointed at this CEO. No growth is allowed unless "Jeff" created it, and all deals are "Jeff's," meaning they're terrible deals for the company and any partners. If the CEO had some experience in management, or if the Board of Directors were to step up to remove him, Dynamics would be at the top of the payments ecosystem, without a doubt. Great technology frustrated by the epitome of a terrible CEO.
