Pros

Used to have a brand but leadership killed it

Cons

CEO (Kurt) has no idea how to lead. He provides no company direction, thinking he can hire his way out of things. But he doesn't hold anyone he hires accountable and believes lower level people are the problem. Then he lays off 50% of the company, blaming them and the board. Yet, it's his company and he never takes accountability for his failure to fix the problems. Now, he's lost both the board and the company so don't understand why he's still there. Oh, and the best idea he has is to quote Jack Dorsey and some VCs in building an AI native company.

Pros

One of the only tech companies that has a product that has 0 potential for evil.

Cons

The entire corporate strategy and layoff plan seems to come from a small group of overconfident execs who have managed to fail upwards and just discovered how to use AI to finally be able to do nothing themselves.
