Pivot from B2B to B2B2C is working
|
|
The B2B wearable markets for their sensors, such as smart watch and VR headsets did not sky rocket. So the company pivoted to selling B2B2C solutions for healthcare , education and vocational training, provided differentiated value directly to consumers. As an engineer, I was way more motivated solving end user's problem. The B2B customers also get to volume and revenue much faster.
|
Below market pay. Yes, it is a startup so stock options is a major part of the compensation. But I found my new startup job that pays way above market.

Tough business decisions
|
|
This is high tech environment with fast pace of innovation on niche markets. Free food at holidays celebrations, Chinese new years and other holidays.
|
Lack of good engineering management and overall strategy combined with drift focus, with a technology that is difficult to integrate and maintain are challenging the company.
