Right idea, wrong leadership - potential clients stay away/potential employees beware!
Pros
Company had great potential. Company leadership landed a huge contract with a multi-national energy client and rapidly built an army of employees. The company was off to a great start with a team of talented individuals. I enjoyed the collaborative process of building programs and training together with the client. I also enjoyed working closely with client team in the field. Several of the end-users receiving training talked about the powerful impact and the application of the material into different aspects of their lives.
Cons
Getting fired - our project was so poorly managed that the company was fired by the client way before the project was completed. Company leadership - The CEO was non-existent. He rarely responded to e-mails and most employee contact was centered around reprisal. I have worked in consulting for many years and for many clients and have NEVER seen leadership as poor as this. No other contracts - by the time the company got fired by the client, the sales team was not able to secure another contract. No future work meant everyone was let go.
