Pros
* The dwindling personnel hired pre-CEO, still hanging on out of loyalty to each other and loyalty to the original products, mission, founders, and Kansas City community * Snacks in the break room * Standing desks in the Overland Park office * Kegs with two local beers on tap, though only unlocked after 5 p.m. at the OP office * Company-discounted gym membership for Overland Park employees * Increased philanthropic and extra-curricular activity * Sports balls, a jovial and fraternal environment, and games abound in the Overland Park office
Cons
* The CEO * A culture of mistrust, created by the CEO, which stem primarily from the decisions the CEO has made about concealing and denying, then revealing plans to expand offices to Dallas. Mistrust was further sewn by the lack of communication around the recent exit of the CFO and upper management sales leadership. Mistrust has increased based on decisions further impacting the sales team, including the CEO hiring his neighborhood friend as a sales consultant and promoting him/her to a leadership position, hiring a former coworker as a global sales leader, and dismissing half of the sales team when most had been working for no more than three months * The CEO and new leadership's blatant and insulting lack of knowledge or attempt to understand the product; its sales process; how partners, customers, and vendors interact in the buying and selling processes; and technology in general * The indiscretion and unprofessionalism embodied by the CEO and some of the upper management when discussing individual sales performance, when discussing deals with employees, and when talking about former and current employees both inside and outside of the company * Micromanagement and interrogation from the CEO and upper management * Increasingly empty desks and a fading spirit
