The CEO just fired the whole sales team after another round of funding came in. The employees have been working their butts off for 10 months with no pay and as soon as they can be paid the CEO fires them. Not to mention he let someone go 2 days after he found out that their wife had a serious illness. The guy has no regard for his employees and his product sucks. Boycott this company.
