Pros
Amazing people, the facade of the culture is nice until you figure out it’s a facade, not all leadership is great but mine was. I was given the space to do the work, make mistakes, try new things, and I learned a ton.
Cons
The 40% layoff, out of nowhere. A surprise zoom meeting the morning of June 8, cameras off for the first time ever, and being told of were affected we will get an email in 15 min and only have a few minutes after that to get anything personal or work wise for a portfolio, etc. Being told by leadership that layoffs weren’t happening when in fact they were all secretly meeting for months devising this plan to uproot some of their most dedicated employees lives. In fact, the plan goes all the way back to hiring a very high up leader, who has actually responded to a lot of the reviews below that were begged for by employees left because we started saying the truth. They were hired back in November and seem to be a contract worker for a company. A cleaner of sorts perhaps? She manipulatively went around the company meeting everyone above agent status, I’m convinced, to determine their worth to the company. It would have been nice to know that since a lot of people who were let go were silent workers who did their work. The biggest con of all, being a yes person and taking on projects that don’t have a person or home and learning how to do 5 different job, does NOT MATTER in the grand scheme of things.
