Great culture with outstanding talent and collaboration, big plans with major funding to start to support those plans at least at the start
Cons
Lacking focus and killer instinct to drive to near term revenue. The bid dream plans were too broad without a credible action plan to execute. The great recession hit hard on cash without revenue.
Some of the smartest people I had ever worked with. Company had a game changing plan that was more advanced than iPhone in 2006. Well funded with over $800 million of funding. Experience management team. There were at least 10 senior executives who were qualified to run Fortune 500 companies. Challenging and cutting edge projects. Great spectrum assets worth over $2 billion. Great plans and execution until hedge funds snuck in to steal the spectrum. AT&T acquired the company for part of the spectrum and technology assets for $600 million.
Cons
Hedge Funds disguised as equity investors back-doored into the company by CFO and GC.
