Vantaggi

My team was wonderful, filled with smart people who worked hard and genuinely cared about making an impact

Svantaggi

Where to begin: CEO lied to everyone after the layoffs in June, that there wouldn't be anymore for the year because we had a 'plan' Layoffs didn't include sales, or many managers (or higher) level people who are kind of to blame for getting the company in this position due to lack of planning, selling the product and providing direction. Corporate spending is outrageous. After the layoffs in June, there was massive spending on tools to help managers micro-manage developers, and other various tools to assist sales, and other departments (except IT) The technology budget is near 0, and it's clear that management does care about security or tech teams. The CEO told us that "if anyone is on this call you are no longer an employee" and that was pretty much the entire message. Not a sorry, or anything from him. Our accounts were disabled for some of us still on this call. The company is not paying out PTO, so many people laid off are getting completely screwed because they were saving PTO for the holidays. Even new hires (less than 2 months) have been let go. The Sales team put on a 'in person' company wide conference to pat themselves on the back, when they aren't performing at all. wasteful spending.

Vantaggi

A great learning experience of how poor management impacts morale. Paychecks always showed up on time.

Svantaggi

Relentless layoffs created a culture of fear and distraction. Three rounds occurred during my tenure, with leadership openly signaling yet another upcoming round in January. Planning, morale, and trust were nonexistent. But micromanagement was ever-present. Leadership constantly shifted priorities, making it impossible to understand what actually mattered. One quarter’s “top initiative” would quietly disappear the next. (Yes, this is directed towards the SVP of “strategy” and the CEO.) Remember that poorly produced video on the website about the benefits of remote work? The company abruptly walked back its remote-first stance, moving to hybrid without soliciting employee input or acknowledging the impact on work-life balance, despite remote work being a major reason many people joined. Below-market compensation across roles, paired with a shockingly weak 401k match, sends a clear message about how little employee retention is valued. Communication from leadership often felt reactive, opaque, and overly optimistic, even as layoffs and cost-cutting told a very different story. Quick... let's try to save a penny every chance we get, but let's also open a brand new office, pay for leases on not one but TWO office spaces, and fly the staff to Seattle in the fall for "collaboration."
