Pros

Nothing really - we cant hire a new CEO, morale has tanked, user growth has stalled, revenue growth is slowing, and ChatGPT is eating edtech.

Cons

The last CEO left in late 2023 and we haven’t been able to hire a new one. User growth has decline for the past 2-3 years. The c-suite has been the same for 5+ years and are out of ideas. Leadership micromanages thinking the problem is the workers but believes their strategy is sound (yet it has not increased user growth in the past 2 years). Folks are burnt out because there is no clear direction. Promotion is poorly defined. Managers are not trained beyond LinkedIn Learning. Our option prices have decreased for the last two years.

Pros

Used to have a brand but leadership killed it

Cons

CEO (Kurt) has no idea how to lead. He provides no company direction, thinking he can hire his way out of things. But he doesn't hold anyone he hires accountable and believes lower level people are the problem. Then he lays off 50% of the company, blaming them and the board. Yet, it's his company and he never takes accountability for his failure to fix the problems. Now, he's lost both the board and the company so don't understand why he's still there. Oh, and the best idea he has is to quote Jack Dorsey and some VCs in building an AI native company.
