Minerva is $15M-$20M TV middleware company Essentially software for set-top boxes (imagine software for Nokia phones vs. iPhones) Addresses low-growth IPTV market ... marginalized by OTT (Netflix, AMZN, Google) Competitors: Cisco, Ericsson & Huawei Customers are tier-3 telecom operators in U.S. - tiny international footprint Go-to-partners are too small to drive meaningful sales growth CEO is largest shareholder, runs the show like a Mom & Pop grocery store Ineffective marketing leadership (CEO) Pay is 30-50 percent below competitors (San Jose developers average $60k-$75k) No bonus or stock payouts - (Zero, zip, nada) Poor health benefits - (HSA in U.S. - Overseas developers have no coverage) Irregular pay dates (Pay dates routinely shifted 3-5 days due to poor cash flow) Ridiculous travel policies (People are booked 3 per room for some trade shows) Employee churn averages 20-30 percent per year Non-sales management team are low-risk, yes-men Rubber stamp, 3-person board

You should probably be aware that any good reviews are likely written by HR in hopes of hiring others to replace those lost by the very high turnover rate. Excessive outsourcing to avoid paying Bay Area compensation rates. Dishonest management. Do not believe anything you are told unless it is in a legally signed document.
