Desventajas
On the business team, the downside is infinite. I won't even stray into my subjective opinions and simply offer the following, objective truths: - 5 sales leaders in 5 years, combination of firings and resignations - Easily 30%+ attrition on the sales team within the first year of employment - All (5+ Dir/VP level) sales leadership fired in Q2 2019 despite hitting 2018 goal - COO, formerly of Twilio, left after 1.5 years - Multiple CFOs fired - Stagnant ARR growth over the last 2 years; company has flattened since start of 2018 That alone should give you some insight into the state of the business. The CEO, Eric, is notoriously difficult to work with, nepotistic, and moody - making abrupt business decisions at the drop of a hat and apparently insufferable to work under as a sales leader. As others have said, the only leaders who have stuck around are inexperienced, underqualified friends from his inner circle, while highly experienced and successful industry executives across every job function churn out the door like it's going out of style.
