Pros

Cool product, definitely has potential, seems to be moving in the right direction, hires great people.

Cons

Tropic faces a significant challenge: hypocrisy. H2 saw consecutive missed sales targets following a failed leadership-led strategy. This resulted in layoffs of various IC's attributed to "performance," while top executives (CRO specifically) retained their positions seemingly without taking any accountability. Consequently, a culture of fear has emerged, discouraging ambition and risk-taking, besides at the executive level. Leadership can make huge mistakes without concern. Performance metrics are tied to underperforming products and flawed strategies, contradicting the preached values of accountability and transparency.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. As an executive team, we took some bold bets in H2, and in some cases, we were wrong. Our core value of leaning into bold bets is something that I take very seriously. “We will be wrong sometimes, and we must be willing to make mistakes to achieve ambitious goals.” Rest assured, these mistakes are not made without concern or accountability. We have learned from those mistakes, and with renewed confidence in our H1 and H2 plans this year, we are seeing undeniably positive revenue results while still maintaining our SaaS business efficiency goals from 2023. I hope the last two all-hands helped deliver on your desire for accountability and transparency at the leadership level. We will continue to pull back the curtain and dive deeper and deeper into company metrics and strategy. The changes we addressed and are now implementing as a result of the feedback are things I apologize for not having implemented sooner. We will continue to monitor employee engagement and ensure that the positive trend over the last few weeks continues. Thank you for believing in Tropic, keeping us accountable, and for being excited about the direction we are moving in. Like you said, it’s time to execute. Let’s do this thing! - Dave (CEO/Co-founder)
