Pros
The team, I met and worked alongside some great people.
Cons
Founders are pathological liars. The company has been run into the ground through overcharging clients and delivering no value. Every client listed on their presentations and website are old and have not engaged them a second time. There is no marketing strategy, sales strategy, pricing strategy or comprehension of the market. No competitor analysis has led to major ego overload that remains unchallenged. When compared to other solutions Snobal makes no financial sense. Huge client opportunities are sunk by the CEO for insisting that the poor sales team present obscene fee structures. This has resulted in all but a select few ceasing all communication and interest. Those that do buy a solution, do not buy a second time and those currently in development are just getting screwed over. Contractors have not been paid or forced to take lower fee's, staff were not paid superannuation for months. All being strung along with false promises of deals and investments concluding "next month". I know from a colleague that investor reports were doctored to include unrealistic sales forecasting, this is fraud and the ongoing feel is that this is everyone else's fault but the founders. Impossible deadlines that change every five minutes and clients are paying for functionality that is not yet developed or working. This is marketed as a SaaS platform but this is just not accurate. They do not offer free trials, under the premise that everyone needs to pay to play. In reality, its to avoid people seeing that it does not work. With most of the staff now let go, it is a race to the bottom! Two people are responsible for what is about to be a catastrophic debt write off, hurting a number of people. Current founder attempts is to sell the IP to a 3rd party and take jobs, positioning them to be great entrepreneurs. Nonsense. If you are a client, try reaching out to one of the ex-snobal employees if you have concerns, if the owners do not con some big company out of a few quid, this company will cease trading within months and you will loose your work.
