It was. I was employee number 10. Just started and was entirely bankrolled by that CTO
The CTO sold a software company he bootstrapped in 2008 and afaik has been working as an exec since.
The CEO, a close friend of Mr CTO, said that the system was going to be Mr CTO’s career encore. (Read: they were very full of themselves)
The CIO quit 4 days before I started for, rumor has it, butting heads with the CTO.
Mr CTO ended up firing (with no warning) me and another dev who were vocal about his nonsense. (Out of 5 devs total)
A 3rd guy quit less than a month after.
That’s how my 2024 started
