Don't get comfortable - Recensione dipendente - Software Engineer presso Persefoni

QA understaffed. Repeated layoffs across the organization. Accidentally fired one of their best technical directors based on inaccurate information. Claims to be engineering focused company, actually focused on brand identity and social media engagement. Ships MVP features and congratulate themselves on LinkedIn. Lay off the engineers that built the MVP product, with no thought towards technical debt, maintenance. Execs heavily emphasize buy-in to brand identity and personal investment in the company. They reward this by laying your whole team off after the MVP feature is delivered. Engineers are effectively contractors, without their knowledge. You were hired to deliver a specific feature, after that feature is done, you will be laid off. Company will claim layoffs are due to "macroeconomic" factors, but this is contradicted by their actions, with multiple rounds of layoffs before the looming recession, and making layoffs alongside announcements of new rounds of funding.
