Deako Response

Thank you for your response, and we are sorry things didn't work out for you at Deako. Yes, we have added several executives in the last year since you worked at Deako. We added a new Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and new Chief Revenue Officer (CRO), which we think is appropriate for the size of our business given growth in the past year, and significant growth occurring in 2024+. As it relates to layoffs, Deako is always evaluating different go-to-market approaches as well as the performance of employees and occasionally either of these factors can cause displacement for any employee (executive, manager or individual contributor). We do try our best to give top performers other opportunities inside the company, and have done this a lot over the 9 years of Deako, but there isn't always a capability match to available positions, so sometimes even top performers aren't a perfect fit

Pros

Work culture is good if you're on the right team.

Cons

Poor management, they will make up reasons to not give you a promotion, you are isolated to your team as they do not have anything to build a bond between teams.
