Leadership needs a shake

Support engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

- Shut it down days (even though we have to accommodate in support) - Very cool and smart peers - Cool Tech

Cons

- New management at C-Level brought his whole old company to work here and culture has been somehow crushed in Support - They make promises of stability and recently that wasn’t kept. - The scale up hasn’t been handled as it should have been. Releasing people while having open positions is not a good sign
