Pros
1) President - He has changed/removed all the policies which were holding the employees back from innovating. Have set up a great workplace for all of us to collaborate and build an amazing product! He has put the ownership in our hands - Have created a leader-leader culture where each one of us are tremendously motivated to deliver and reap great rewards. I know for a fact that for every good thing that I do in Hubzu, I will get even better opportunities to deliver and get rewarded/recognized even more! - The way he has built/transformed the entire organization is a perfect example of a leader who has a lot of potential to build and deliver world-class products at a tremendous pace! 2) Co-workers - I work closely with a very talented group of folks who inspire better performance from me. 3) Rewards and Recognition - Best in the industry 4) Freedom to experiment and innovate 5) Complete ownership of the product and the success of the company
Cons
1) Parent company is slowing us down significantly by not giving us a decent equity plan and hesitating to make us stakeholders - This is leading to a loss for Hubzu as we are not being able to hire great talent at a great pace, as most of our competitors have a great equity plan in place. 2) Presence of bureaucracy in our parent organization is hurting us badly, as we still continue to share some infrastructure with them.
