Was my favorite job, now just a big, soulless bureaucracy - Recensione dipendente - Senior UX Researcher presso Indeed

The company culture was destroyed by massive over-hiring during the pandemic. Tight-knit teams of 10 people metastasized into seas of 40-50 remote workers people with little-to-no personal connection. There's too many people, and not enough meaningful work. Some of the company's best people were arbitrarily laid off in March. It's hard to justify working hard or putting your soul into something when seeing many of your best colleagues eliminated for no fault of their own. Far too much performative empathy senior leadership / skin-deep social justice advocacy that feels grotesquely inauthentic.
