CEO is ruining the company

Pros

Hard working people and line managers.

Cons

The ELT struggles to lead this company effectively. The PE firm that owns Kantata demands that the company stays profitable, which puts a strain on where the tiny bit of investment in the company goes. The ELT is dealt a difficult hand with this requirement in a weak tech economy, but they continue to make mistake after mistake in the investment strategy which is leaving customers angry and unsupported. This leaves employees feeling overworked and under appreciated. I don’t see a world where Kantata exists in 5 years without a new CEO and ELT.

Pros

Met some amazing colleagues and leaders over the years. Unfortunately, most have jumped ship or were laid off. Great product, but overpriced.

Cons

Leadership boasts about transparency at the All Hands meetings, yet conducts several silent layoffs of loyal, hard-working, top-performing employees because they need to “cut spending” when 2023 budget went towards things like (1) ridiculous firework show at SKO, (2) remodels of several US offices, (3) flying out several AEs to Chicago for quarterly dinners with the CRO (We’d rather keep our jobs than fly out to Chicago for a steak, JD). Poor, destructive decisions made throughout 2023 and continuing in 2024. Stay away for now and hopefully things turn around because the product really is great.

They killed the culture

Pros

In a sales position, the work is varied and the team is smart.

Cons

Leadership manages through hostility and intimidation. On top of that, they brag about not knowing the product or the services. Instead of lifting people up, they berate you like a child. You may make money, but you'll be miserable.
