Flybits Reviews

- CEO and management have no vision, mission, or strategy, which is reflected in the weak product, inability to sell the product, and minimal sales growth. - Weak product. It might have been innovative 7 years ago, but with no major improvements since, it's become primitive compared to competition. No clear product vision or strategy to steer the company around. - Wrong people promoted to leadership/management positions. Management team were great individual contributors, but have never had true management experience, thus unable to lead and cultivate a high-performing team. High turn-over reflects this. - Company focuses too much on fluffy self-promotion (interviews, meaningless awards, stuffy bios, news articles), not nearly enough on building a great company and product. - Flybits touts itself as an AI and data company, but no real AI exists in the product. How many AI engineers work at the company? - Culture used to be amazing, but has turned highly political and toxic. Lots of finger-pointing and blaming when things go wrong. Management is too focused on who's to blame, rather than fixing the problem. Founding members contribute enormously to toxic culture.

Toxic leadership leads to rushed timelines on projects that do not go anywhere. Lots of work but no innovation or finishing meaningful work. Employees who provide a lot of value and refreshing ideas get stonewalled and leave to move on to top companies.
