Ventajas
*The people - most of the people I worked with were simply amazing in their commitment to the company, their work, and the aspirations they had for really helping customers. *The technology - pretty cool tech under the surface in its ability to aggregate and derive insights from so much data. *Customers - the best customers in looking to drive their businesses forward with insights and analytics derived from continuously changing events and data. So many just terrfic successes they had in using the technology to make a difference for their companies as well as build thei own careers. Account management team - just terrific all the things they did to help customers, not enough room on this form to list them.
Desventajas
*Management - bordeline incompetent. So many business, product, and market mistakes, so many naval gazing decisions, no new ideas. A long list of folks that should have retired or moved to somewhere else a long time ago. A President and COO who every day do more damage to what's left of the company. *Culture - non existent, no investment in the people that actually do all the work, a remote work environment for cost savings purposes only, platitudes from the COO which turned into nothing. But, in reflection the COO, simply didn't have the experience and or skills for the job they were asked to do. *Product - just keeps falling behind. The product from the NLP and UI continues to suffer from under investment and slow decision making. It simply doesn't pass the eye test when compared to the two main competitors. Example the Quid networking technology is 10 yrs old, and is no longer differentiating. So many better examples in the market. *Engineering Resources - great people, really great people. But, for a very long time the decision to have an engineering team in Taiwan was based on costs and cost savings and nothing else. There was a very low expectation of pace of innovation and with each release their was always more bug fixes than actual features. Too many times in which a new release simply did not meet the customers needs. Which made account management so much harder.
