Pros

Voalte has a lot of great, innovative "ideas" as a software company and supports the artistic culture of the Sarasota area.

Cons

Poor executive leadership with lack of strategic plan for growing the organization. Poor morale after a massive RIF in February (folks had relocated families and were thanked with a $0 severance package). How is it possible to miss-manage growth of an organization by 33% in 1 year after a massive infusion of funding? Executive management continuing to practice the art of "managing folks out of the organization" to control costs as opposed to coaching for growth and there is definitely an "ol' boy network" of Gator alum - if you weren't in the graduating class you're probably disposable. Inability to bring a product to market without perpetual "patch" cycles. Advice to potential clients - a great product to pilot while considering options.

Pros

The atmosphere and talent were amazing and so was some of the leadership. Prior to the layoff of about a 1/3 of the company (40 people), management was getting in place and plans were moving forward to grow the company.

Cons

The firefighting every day. Once problems are band-aided, they never are fixed permanently, they will repeat often and management will once again put another band-aid on it. Laying off a large chunk of the company including the COO, doesn't instill confidence in a newer company. Also, the layoff of the majority of quality and the people responsible for HIPAA is a major step back from almost every company operating in the U.S.
