Pros
Some of the people that did the work here are smart, nice and collaborative.
Cons
The CEO is lives in lala land. He has no idea how to be a CEO. He is completely detached from reality of the markets they serve and how to service them. He doesn't listen to his managers or the people who work under them. He spends most of his days taking cheap shots at the staff without taking personal responsibility for how he has run this once promising company to the ground. From what I can tell he builds products based on bar room conversations with his lackey friends - not market feedback or needs, he hires his friends who really don't contribute and fires people who are actually good at their craft. I feel sorry for him as I think he is easily influenced by others, has an inflated sense of self worth and burned down what could have been a great product. As a female in the payments space it's tough enough to break the celieng in fintech, but when you spend over 2 years of your life trying to help a clueless potato build a great product only to see him burn it to the ground, I feel like I was robbed of years great momentum I could have had a real payments company that is run by smart leaders and great boards that know when it's time to cut the cord and bring in someone who knows what they are doing. I feel for anyone who is still handcuffed to this place.
