Business outlook
Pros
The people at Crossbeam were all very conscientious, were very good at what they did, and worked together as teams. There was opportunity to grow there when I first started. They have a very interesting, technically complex product.
Cons
Business model that depends on independent software vendors IP is a non-starter. Company cannot grow as currently configured, and growth opportunities disappeared for employees. Investor buyout has triggered severe austerity measures, including downsizing by >25%; company stock options vaporized as part of buyout.
