Pros
- interesting data - a lot of opportunity in the marketplace for this type of analysis - small company so ability to make a bigger impact - the Boston based director of engineering seemed sharp if he is still there
Kontras
- No planning or project management process at all. Very reactive with daily changes in priority. CEO's wife is the head of product and de-facto boss of the company. She has passion for the job but it is not backed up by a lot of skill in either the managerial soft people skills, project management or technical product knowledge so it ends up just being micro management and chaos which is hard to work around. - An absolutely awful offshore software development team. They are protected by the leadership and openly fight any upgrades to any of the systems or new technologies. Very hostile and uncooperative. - Generally a chaotic, toxic environment and a culture of making unreasonable demands and blaming the employees. Extremely high turnover.
