Great tech team, struggling management and product - Manager Rafay Systems Employee Review

Collaborative team, fast paced, lots of learning opportunities

It is a fast paced startup

They work with customers quickly to fix issues, unfortunately these issues are very very frequent. When working product is fairly advanced, but still behind competitors.

The CFO is the head of HR, she is also short sighted and makes knea jerk reactions. This dual role I believes embodies what makes Rafay an un-enjoyable place to work. Low investment in areas where there should be. No organization should have a CFO that is also the head of HR. The CEO thinks he is the worlds best CRO, CMO, CTO, CEO, and COO. He is not good at any of those and frequently during company meetings will say "if that person doesn't work out, oh well we move on." This is in front of the entire org and I think says a lot about his mindset. People are very very frequently let go. The product is far behind their competitors, but does work for the most part. One of the worst parts about working here is the constant knee jerk reactions. Customer complained > all hands on deck to fix that tiny issue at the cost of larger issues. Missing revenue > cancel all travel and sponsorships.
