Flexible working hours, remote work. Lots of autonomy. Technical skills of the teams I worked with/in was high and the social environment was good. Note, true last year of employment was 2011, not 2013, which the popup did not present.
|
Bad management. Little product management or direction. Failure to keep the company profitable leading to layoffs and closure of the entire California (Sunnyvale) office.

Too little too late. The company was sold to Critical Path which shutdown the Sunnyvale office and laid everyone off.

Gone down the tubes
|
|
When I joined Mirapoint it was a vibrant place where people were dedicated to the products and customers.
|
The new corporate overlords demonstrated that they had no interest in maintaining the Mirapoint product line - from firing all the engineers and outsourcing dev to India, to dismantling the coordinated ecosystem in favor of recommending their competing products.

The Innovator's Dilemma, or keeping the blinders on
|
|
Innovation was strong early on in the company, and led to new markets, contracts, customers, and growth.
The passion and enthusiasm in the engineering team was fairly healthy, and waned as the company tapered down in size.
The Technical Support team was top-notch, and was very committed to addressing issues in the field, in a responsible and professional manner.
|
As the messaging market landscape changed, the company was slow to react.
The upper management team seemed to be more interested in their exit strategy than winning new business and creating new products.

Don't rely solely on the past successes. Develop agility and innovation in new markets. Don't be afraid to drop products or strategies that are failing.

No issue here
|
|
Very flexible with family life, and understanding when issues come up. Senior staff is very sociable and listens but also understands they can't think of it all and require others to pitch in and come up with ideas and implementing those ideas.
|
People tend to do their own thing, not a lot cross pollination.

So far I don't have any issues the way the company is being run. I think some hard choices had to be made and they where made. Continue the open lines of communication.

Competing with Microsoft Exchange
|
|
Mirapoint's products are sold as an appliance - which is good.
|
Competing with entrenched competition Microsoft Exchange - not a very good place to be in.

Don't expect much from its management team
|
|
Most of the individual contributors are smart and talented folks. They are nice to work with and want to be successful.
|
A few glaring weak points in senior management meant the company lacked vision. Many folks were frustrated by management's insistence on milking past markets rather than strategically positioning the company for future business opportunities. Perhaps Mirapoint recognizes the weakness of its management team. When last I checked they don't even have bios up for their managemetn team on the company website. Who is their management team? What kind of statement is that when management does not put its name on the door

Let someone else run the show before all your talented employees and mangers leave for greener pastures. You can only milk the same cow for so long.
