I don't like the controls for the slideshow. The content offers so little that it seems pointless to offer user functionality.
Also, there is needless vertical scroll on any window size. Your CSS hasn't been reset correctly I believe.
The big faces with comparably small type makes it hard to focus on the content and the navigation... Well, it does for me.
I'd also put in a fade or slide function for the background image. Full-screen insta-change does not look so nice. You can get away with insta-changing on small elements but when the whole screen switches in an instant without interaction it is annoying.

generally agree with comments above. it is out of balance. hard to read. i know the big photos are a design 'thing' but it impedes readability and general understanding of what you are looking at. Takes time to get your bearing and know what you are even looking at, and that cannot be a good thing, can it?
Have you tested it on mobile?

it's always hard to read with someone staring at me.

Monospaced:
it's not that it's 'terrible'. Obviously someone did some thinking on this. I just think it need adjustments to make it better.I mean, they asked for feedback for a reason.
But, to be fair, it is better to start with a positive and work your way to what can be improved. So let me redo my comment:
Nice idea have photos of actual customers. That is always the fastest way for validation of a company. And the general style of having all the people shot in the same position, is good. Their is a generally clean intelligent feeling behind the design, which supports the company well I think.
That being said, I think that the photos overwhelm the type and make it hard to read the copy and understand the navigation. Also the large photos that go behind other pages do this as well.
Perhaps you could play with the sizes of your elements a bit? Adjust the size of the photos, and the type, and so on? And then test it on people. Also, have you looked at it in mobile?

Yeah it was one of those projects I worked on then left the company. Now just seeing it live it does not match up at all to what I spec/designed. Kind of sucks. Lesson learned.

I didn't mean to come across as harsh. there are elements I like in it, but I just didn't have the time to detail them. The points I mentioned were just the things that immediately stood out as things that could be improved.
You don't seem to have taken offence to anything which is good, but I thought I'd clarify that it's not awful by any means.
