Pluspunten

Decisive leader who was able to take a completely dysfunctional organization and turn it into a growth engine. CEO was able to quickly and accurately assess the old management team and make impactful immediate changes which brought about sustained improvement in every aspect of the business. Virtual Bridges was a disaster being held together by duct tape and lies. Sam turned it into an accountable and committed organization with a culture of integrity and performance. Sure you had to be willing to work very hard, but, shouldn't that be expected in every startup? I can only assume that the person who bashed Sam was one of the dysfunctional individuals that ruined Virtual Bridges.

Minpunten

Tough market, tougher competition. The VDI market has always been a hyper competitive space and when your primary difference is Linux, it makes it tough on every aspect of the organization, from development to marketing to sales.

Pluspunten

Startups and restarts are not for the immature...nor the inexperienced. Sam (who "has the tshirt") empowered his team with the freedom to make decisions and take action...that can be too much for some people who are used to simply doing what they are told. Accountability can be a tough task master...especially in this type of environment. If you deliver on your commits, Sam is the best. I'd work for him again anytime..

Minpunten

Bridge Point building location is abysmal

Pluspunten

Nice office space, management generally sympathetic to work-like balance. Small possibility of taking advantage of a market opportunity. Current technical VP at least has a good strategy.

Minpunten

I worked at this company for over a year and saw it go from 50-60 people to 10-20. The established product they had was not enough to sustain the company, but at the same time the new products they were developing were never able to be brought to fruition. Part of that was weak leadership, but part of it was the sheer complexity of what they were trying to do. The company is now making a last grasp at life now with an unproven idea in an unproven market. Also, the location is inconvenient, and everyone else is 100% correct about the lack of lunch options.
