Since September 2019, 9 employees have quit FormFire so far, including a VP of Operations who had been with this company for 10 years, a Director and the rest were from engineering team and more will follow. So, now FormFire have to spend money to fill all those positions, unless management thinks they never needed those resources.
I have heard from others that a couple of developers had create and maintained the application for years. But the new CTO found the application completely dysfunctional and decided to rewrite it. And this time he decided to hire an Indian company to do the job. Under the CTO’s supervision this Indian company has been working for more than a year to rewrite a part of the application without an ounce of deliverable so far. The must have spent tons of money on this project. Where did all that money go, well only the CTO knows.
There is a big team dedicated to customer success. Nobody in the company knows what they do, not even the managing director or CTO. The leadership is absolutely clueless on how to run this team. Other than spending money on useless tools this team hasn't been able to do anything so far.
The company lacks funds to hire decent engineers and I wonder how come the CTO gets to waste so much of company money.
Salaries and other benefits are so bad that they takes several months to fill a single position.
