Massive layoffs - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso Aya Healthcare

Lots of options, friendly recruiters

Pay is usually on the lower end

Strong earning potential during peak market years, especially for high performers. I built valuable recruiting and leadership experience here and worked with many talented, hardworking people. Fast-paced environment that can teach resilience, urgency, and high-volume recruiting skills very quickly. Good benefits.

The company culture shifted significantly over time, especially post-COVID. What once felt collaborative and growth-oriented became increasingly metrics-driven and heavily micromanaged. Leadership support and career development felt inconsistent, particularly for middle management. Despite strong performance and taking on significant leadership responsibilities, upward mobility became extremely limited. There was (and continues to be) a noticeable disconnect between executive expectations and the day-to-day realities of the recruiting teams after the market normalized. Many experienced employees appeared burned out, anxious, or constantly under pressure to hit moving targets. Work-life balance became harder to maintain, and the environment often felt reactive instead of strategic. Unlimited PTO that I was always too afraid to use from fear of falling behind and limited coverage availability.
