Pros
Very Few Pros, unless PTSD is an asset. Product is disruptive, but CEO/Owner doesn't understand market or competing technologies in the market. Great co-workers/hostages, yet we all feel like we have Stockholm Syndrome....
Cons
-The CEO/Owner: let's see, he thinks he's a genius, and of course, anyone who thinks they are a genius, usually are not. He doesn't understand basic business concepts such as a sustainable pricing model, collaboration with employees/partners, market research, and understanding the value of employees. Oh yeah, he's also an egomaniac. Not a good mix. He is the sole reason Rhythm Engineering is in its current state of disrepair. Please don't believe the reviews here about how great a place it is to work. He's got dozens of on-line identities to keep offering them up. The market is not billions, and what the hell does "FIT IT" mean? There is nothing, and I mean, absolutely nothing to scale. It's one product to sell. Not the 9 you claimed in a video a year ago. One single product that is getting marginalized daily in the marketplace by competitors and being replicated by another firm which the CEO/Owner won't enforce/protect his patent(s). This company's senior management was a revolving door. After the last RIF, only left with a handful of brave souls willing to deal with the owner. I've lost count of the great employees who have left. Product development is down to one or two employees state-side and the Bulgaria thing is rumored to be a front for his soon-to-be bachelor ways i.e. a little something on the side. The dysfunction in this place is breath-taking. The amount of BS coming from the CEO/Owner is endless. Stating profitability after 1.5 years is lipstick on a pig. Only because you shut down all other affiliated companies that never made a profit. Here's a tip for the CEO/Owner, you don't know the first thing about marketing, project management software, empowering others, etc. It was a personal circle-jerk for you to have all these companies with your name attached, calling yourself "Chief Vision Officer" and other BS. Telling customers in a company-wide email that you don't know what you're doing and didn't learn how to run a business in engineering school won't create more customers. It, in fact, led to a large number of potential customers vowing to never want to speak with anyone from Rhythm Engineering. Employees and customers want stability, continuity and integrity. These terms are antithetical to Reggie Chandra.
