Challenges galore, plenty of opportunities to step up and take ownership
Cons
The execs really have no idea what they're doing. They'll pretend to consult technical staff to inform business decisions, but will always end up going with whatever's got the lowest up front cost (even if it ends up being more expensive in the long run due to development effort, ongoing support, etc).
The CEO appears to treat the company as a hobby; he drives a fancy car and turns down promising new locations for the head office because they're farther from home.
Hotel Communication Network Response

HCN is a start-up and faces many challenges that are not always understood by each of our employees.
We are committed to a great employee work experience and regret a poor review.
Unfortunately, we have had to terminate employees who do not fit into our organisation or due to poor performance, which we feel was the underlying factor causing this negative review. This does not mean that we think we have no room for improvement, we are very sensitive to employee input and have consistently worked to improve our management skills and corporate culture, and have taken many concrete steps in this direction. In the last 6 months we've increased the communication of our business vision and goals with employees and made a lot of progress.
I reiterate our open door policy and will continue to make time for issues that are brought to my attention. As we grow we intend to become one of Ottawa's 'best companies to work for'!

COO has no clue, CEO not far behind.
High Staff turnover
