Pros
Sporting Innovations is an organization committed to solving some of the toughest problems in one of the largest and most compelling industries in the world. The opportunity to disrupt such a large market is huge, and as with all such opportunities, the challenges are immense and fun to overcome.
All the negative reviewers are former employees, many of whom were let go probably due to performance related concerns, and as such are not an accurate representation of what the organization is about. There are high expectations across the board so that Sporting Innovations can deliver value to its clients. Indeed, despite what the negative reviewers might imply, the organization does have clients, has won several awards for their products and innovation, etc.
Senior leadership is visionary, exceptionally intelligent and among the most respected in the sports and technology industry. They care about their people, encourage them to be and do their best and give them responsibility when they are ready. I personally feel a greater sense of responsibility and ownership over of my work at Sporting Innovations than at any other time in my life. I am acknowledged by leadership for my successes and provided constructive feedback when I need it.
Startups are hard, but the negative reviewers on this board obviously did not understand that. Solving large, systemic problems requires hard work, creativity, dedication and several long nights. This is the nature of the beast though, and the right people thrive in the face of these challenges; the wrong ones complain about them and other things they may not completely understand.
Bottom line is, I am proud to part of Sporting Innovations and lucky to be able to work with some of the most talented leaders in the industry.
Cons
The organization needs to be extra careful about recruiting talent so that we can avoid hiring the wrong people.
