Pros

At one point we were headed in the right direction.

Cons

Company forgetting the core values while it just tries to expand and eventually IPO. We continue to be sent emails saying the values never changed, but they've just become words on emails. Team leaders hold more power than managers at the company. Which makes the manager position more of a glorified receptionist & a joke amongst employees

Going downhill quickly - stop idealizing start ups

Business Outlook

Pros

My team had great management Benefits are great, but remember this is technically still a start up and they have never had positive cash flow. Competitive pay for the industry, but also am fully aware other members in the same role were getting paid more.

Cons

Benefits got taken away (tuition reimbursement, fitness reimbursement, etc) prior to the FIRST round of layoffs in 6/22. They have laid off over 1,000 people due to not having enough cash, I wouldn’t join a company that cant even support their own business. CEO became very greedy once the company went public, very money focused and culture declined IMMENSELY. Some higher ups had their offer letters leaked, some getting bonuses of up to $2.9 million a year. BONUSES on TOP of their salary. But they had to let go 25% of their company, makes sense. Don’t expect a decent severance package if you get laid off, oh and even better don’t expect to receive it for 3-4 days after you get laid off, delaying your unemployment application.
