Hi! Thanks very much for the honest feedback. Please make sure you provide this feedback on the exit interview and not just anonymously in this publication.
I am not sure what "screaming matches" you are referring to, this makes it seem like Hell's Kitchen and I am Gordon Ramsey. Yes, in 10 years, I can say I have yelled loudly...for about 10 seconds at one employee who was being incredibly disrespectful and deserved to be terminated. Please don't put this out of context, this is the ultimate #fakenews
If a CEO at a young company is in the office all the time, that is typically a bad sign. I spend most of my time fundraising or searching for new clients or partners. I wish some people could see the work that goes behind the scenes in corporate, legal, strategy, fundraising, accounting and other areas. You will have a different perspective.
The platform is only 1 year old. As I have pointed out many times, you can't work for a 1 year old company and expect brilliant product launches and products tested in the market for 10 years. Even if you go to Salesforce this doesn't exist. You build, you sell, you get feedback, and you sell a vision, that is how this works. TD Bank has 25 million customers, and has deployed the Hydrogen platform...in production. So this is incredibly dramatic feedback that is not painting the full picture.
I am sorry that you are jaded and demoralized. I do trust and respect employees. I hold monthly strategy and corporate updates. Anyone who know me will say I am one of the most positive and respectful people. I do nothing but nice things for people - buy things, throw events, give positive feedback. I have sacrificed 10 years of my life to pay other people to go on vacation and not myself; if this isn't the ultimate sign of unselfishness, I don't know what is. I am sorry that you feel wronged, were terminated, or just overall did not have a good experience. I cannot do anything to solve that now, but I sincerely hope you find all your hopes and dreams in your next endeavor!
