Pros

Getting to work with founders

Cons

Executive team and certain members of the board are not transparent or honest with their core customers, the founders (or their employees). It's the wrong type of people to be building this organization. The exec team aren't necessarily bad people, just all way over their head and in a space they don't know. So the company lacks real leadership or direction.
