Pros

I had plenty of pros to share before the new management took over the company. I was not with the company for much longer after the old management had left the company. I saw very few pros in that short time.

Cons

Management. The new management took the company's signature product (VERDE) and completely flushed it down the toilet in favor of a completely unproven business/product. The entire VERDE development team was pretty much chased away even though it was the bread and butter that brought in the company's revenues. VERDE was completely abandoned for a product that had not even been released yet, much less started to bring in any revenue.

Pros

Startups and restarts are not for the immature...nor the inexperienced. Sam (who "has the tshirt") empowered his team with the freedom to make decisions and take action...that can be too much for some people who are used to simply doing what they are told. Accountability can be a tough task master...especially in this type of environment. If you deliver on your commits, Sam is the best. I'd work for him again anytime..

Cons

Bridge Point building location is abysmal

Pros

Decisive leader who was able to take a completely dysfunctional organization and turn it into a growth engine. CEO was able to quickly and accurately assess the old management team and make impactful immediate changes which brought about sustained improvement in every aspect of the business. Virtual Bridges was a disaster being held together by duct tape and lies. Sam turned it into an accountable and committed organization with a culture of integrity and performance. Sure you had to be willing to work very hard, but, shouldn't that be expected in every startup? I can only assume that the person who bashed Sam was one of the dysfunctional individuals that ruined Virtual Bridges.

Cons

Tough market, tougher competition. The VDI market has always been a hyper competitive space and when your primary difference is Linux, it makes it tough on every aspect of the organization, from development to marketing to sales.
