Pros
Really enjoyed a lot of the team members. Creative environment. Lots of innovation and problem solving. Great managers and directors ... a couple great VPs. I loved my team and co-workers. If it were a successful company, I would have stayed just to keep working with them.
Cons
It's all a sham. Company was founded by three guys after a night of drinking (CEO shared this story repeatedly). Two of them had never run anything ... not even a paper route. The third (the CEO) has his kids' YouTube channels on his LinkedIn work history as actual companies. Just like TMGcore, those businesses never made a dime. CEO lists certificates and Six Sigma on his resume, but never graduated from college. He's a cult of personality, all packaging and no present. He's a nice enough guy, but he has a website all about himself ... 'nuff said. There were a number of employees who received title-only promotions without compensation increases for 8+ months. That happened a lot. The company shifted gears in the Fall of 2021, moving from a tight focus on data center liquid cooling applications to Bitcoin mining (immersion cooling for miners). Full stop. Complete shift of direction. Stopped development on data center products after 3 years and millions of dollars to focus on a new product that didn't exist because the Bitcoin market was super hot (Bitcoin selling at $60k+ at that point). Fast forward 6 months and the crypto market imploded. Bitcoin dropped to $16k. Market froze. Interest froze. More millions committed, suppliers secured (and shipping materials/products to TMG), and no sales. Only real customer took delivery and then return the systems because they didn't perform as promised. Company has gone through a handful of furloughs and layoffs. They assembled some very creative, highly intelligent people and set them on course to make something really great. Then they shot the hull of the boat full of holes and sank their own ship. The money was never there the way they made it sound (from an investor and from a sales perspective). The CEO (as another reviewer stated) is all hat and no cattle. He dresses the part, but he's prone to outbursts of yelling when things don't go his way. His COO (and co-founder) left over a year ago to take a lesser position with a real company. His CTO (the third co-founder) is probably really bright, but has the personality of a bag of wet grass clippings. No budgets. No plan. Lots of hot air but no balloon. We got lots of rah-rah all-hands meeting enthusiasm (so glad I never have to hear the "TMGcore Roar" again), but there was never a real plan for success ... which is why the company isn't succeeding. They need real leadership. I feel bad for all the staff facing layoffs. I feel bad for any investors who are going to lose their investments. I feel bad for the suppliers who aren't going to get paid. It's a bad deal all around.
