I left another company to start with EOS and was part of a massive layoff THREE WEEKS after starting in my new position. Employees are not to begin working in their new role until their first three months' of training is completed, so I experienced how good the individuals in the marketing team were in the meetings I was permitted to be a part of, while checking off nearly 300 introduction courses, videos, documents, trainings, and so on.
For those wondering about the "cult" comments in other reviews, be aware that annual meetings require an exercise where each person in the room reveals a childhood trauma to the team. The company also teaches "radical candor," with one trainer espousing how positive it was for her career development when her boss told her her speaking style during presentations "made her sound stupid."
It's all in the series of books the company has published.
During my interview, I asked the HR phone screen employee about the review from 2022 where a former employee revealed they'd been laid off, along with their whole department, within 90 days of their hiring. I was told that this had never happened, and it must have just been an employee that didn't make it through their probation period and was disgruntled. I was flat-out lied to.
I wonder if that's what they'll tell people about this review, except a bunch of other people who were laid off this time have posted, too, so that won't be an easy excuse.
To lay off a new employee who left a job to work for you after only three weeks says one of two things about a company: either you made this decision on the spur of the moment and just decided to jettison almost 40 people with no warning into one of the worst job markets in history, or you DID know you were going to lay people off and continued to hire people that you knew would lose their jobs before they even got their first paycheck.
Neither option says anything good about this company.
