Vantaggi
Everyone you work with is, generally speaking, a "good person". They seem to select pretty heavily during hiring for people who pass the vibe check, so by and large all of your coworkers are pleasant and agreeable people. Much talking is done about DEI and employee development, though its consultant sourcing makes it come off as oddly corporate for a company this small. Great pay and benefits, plenty of perks like free coffee delivery, Fridays off in summer, twice-yearly company retreats, but...
Svantaggi
... it clearly wasn't sustainable. When a company can go from "we're growing to a hundred employees" to "20% of the company is fired" in the span of less than a year, something is severely wrong and it isn't the fault of any of the people who lost their jobs. The product is behind competitors, and leadership is stuck playing catch-up on features of unclear value, scope or demand. New-hire team management often comes across as confused or performative, which then reflects poorly on the results of those they manage. Employee attrition has centralized a lot of institutional knowledge onto people who don't deserve that much pressure and don't have enough hours in the day to work on everything. This has now surely been exacerbated after layoffs.
