Overconfident is an understatement :p A large sales force was hired (probably far too large of one, and definitely larger than institutional investors cared for), but there was also massive growth and spending in departments that were not strongly contributing to go-to-market activities (e.g. massive laboratory expansions oriented towards development of future products, massive growth in many back-of-house business ops teams, and some jaw-droppingly frivolous investments in facilities that I don't feel comfortable disclosing in public).
