      BIG YIKES

      Software engineer

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      There is plenty of room for growth The tech is good

      Cons

      - Leadership (C-Suite) is definitely not trustworthy. - People reporting to Alex, from what I can tell, have zero morals and are the reason why the company has taken a nosedive - There was a lot of concern where money was being spent as it had a track record over that past 18 months of being mismanaged.

      shocking mismanagement of capital

      Pros

      They are in a big industry with a lot of room to innovate.

      Cons

      They laid off ~20% of staff and then issued a $5M cash bonus to Dan Rosenthal for his "promotion" (according to public filing) from CFO to COO. The "promotion" came after Dan led the company through a public offering that was poorly executed - as reflected in the stock price. This leads to huge concerns as to the sophistication of the executive team's judgment and morals.
