Disapproves of CEO
Pros
- Amazing people - Fun, young vibe - Located in SOMA blocks from the ballpark
Cons
- Mid and Upper Management is reckless and inexperienced - Job Safety is a huge issue and causes high anxiety among employees - Surprisingly, the internet is always going down which makes an internet based sales job frustrating - Comp plan was always changing and being 'adjusted' = again, new company and a bit reckless
Advice to Management
Take responsibility for reckless decisions. Next time you are faced with yet another big layoff, look towards your mid and upper management and take into consideration the choices that have been made at the expense of employees. Also, when a big change is made, don't glaze over the issue and answer with a 'non-answer'. Be direct and honest.

Disapproves of CEO
Pros
People are amazing, freedom to do your job, no micromanaging, product is ok.
Cons
No job security, business model might fail, so they company is scrambling, so things like comp structure change CONSTANTLY.
Advice to Management
Nice guys who are doing a terrible job at building an awesome, successful company. With the 3 rounds of major lay-offs, everyone's job is changing, and everyone thinks it sucks. With the sales team being the life blood of the company, they should have considered keeping them a bit more happy, i.e. not firing everyone and leaving the rest to carry the burden. Everyone is certainty looking for other jobs at this point. Moral sucks.

"Unprofessional Management Team"
Pros
Mostly fun team members willing to help out when you're in the weeds
Cons
Most unprofessional management team I've ever been associated with; no job security unless a favorites. Non existent HR.
Advice to Management
Start over with senior management. This is the 21st century - you don't motivate by fear and abuse.
