Greedy Leadership

Pros

The people were the best part of the job. Lots of talent for a moment there, many leaving to work at top companies.

Cons

The downside of a startup culture is a complete and utter unawareness of good process, unless you have star leadership coming from good experiences. Most of our upper management was comprised of salesmen - good at talking, bad at execution, but great at playing that game long enough to leave with a lot of cash. Shady promotions and layoffs.

Great Talk but Little Action

Pros

Office space in San Fran and LI City very cool but we couldn’t afford it. Employment reduction was needed but they waited too long.

Cons

New CEO has a lot of style and sizzle but no real action or momentum since taking over the helm. Grandiose deals that were in the pipeline didn’t materialize. Key, large customers terminated contracts and hard to bring on new ones when the prospect review press and sees the debt.

How long will Frankly stay in business?

Pros

Good work life balance. You'll find the place deserted by 6.

Cons

We're all concerned, and frankly, most of us don't believe the company will survive for much longer. Frankly went through yet another round of layoffs in February, letting go some of the company's most hard-working and talented individuals. This layoff impacted a quarter to a third of the employees. The promise of new business never materializes, and initiatives that the company took to secure investors failed. The market that Frankly is in has no growth potential. Where is Frankly headed given the lack of funding, talent, and any idea of business development?
