haha, the CTO is already leaving? hilarious. I bet the next one will yell, "DIPLOMATIC IMMUNITY!" as the ship burns and settles to the bottom of the ocean.
@2dii+1sD6LsXp If I were a partner, I'd be asking a lot of hard questions around why we're basing engineering out of Cape Town.
@2jlw+1sD6LsXp you're likely referring to Virginia who joined in November, I think? She's leaving at the end of the month and being replaced by Schoeman who went from VP of Data to CTO in less than 6 months and is the worst leader in tech we've ever had. But it's fine, because he's Cape Town based so I'm sure they'll move all of tech there in the next 3 months and things will go super well. Tons on sarcasm applied.
Anyone in their right mind would be looking for something else.
Acting CTO is from SA, taking over as Virginia steps down

Who is CTO? Person listed on website seems new to org.
Data at this company is bad for a reason but don't worry, the person in charge for that is CTO now. The corruption is off the charts.
Yeah, say more about the data? I was pretty close to that project and the data was pretty bad (drop rates, employment etc) if anyone was falsifying data they were doing it wrong.
@jvz+1sD6LsXp Say more, falsifying student data?
Just the one offered through the UK government contact. But the issues raised in this article are definitely true. We never cared about outcomes and were regularly told to falsify student data to make the program look more successful than it was.
Is this all of boot camps or just the boot camps through the UK government?
