Poorly Handled Layoffs and Fake People First Culture

Pros

- Seth the CEO is good at hear. Unfortunately does not have a good team around him to guide in decisions and was caught up in the WeWork mess. - If you hustle, there is a lot of opportunities to grow your skills and learn new areas of business - Investment in sales enablement and training

Cons

- Due to WeWork mess, they needed to right size the company which makes a lot of sense and needed. They over hired because WeWork demanded Conductor to grow. However, there were rumors for almost 2 months that no one knew if there were layoffs and it caused a lot of toxic behavior in the office. There was no acknowledgment from HR nor the leaders of how bad the rumors were and effort to have empathy for employees. There was also a big showcase in favoritism. A select few were given almost a 2 months heads up and then completely underperformed or not even show up to work while receiving their salary. They had additional time compared to those that were totally blind sided the day of the layoffs and then they still received severance. if you do something for one, you need to do for all out of being fair. In addition, HR was fully aware of this favoritism and did not act at all. They laid us off before the holidays with only 2 months given that a month was thrown away because no one would be hiring over christmas and first half of January. To make things worse, everyone in the office saw the group that "got the email" walk to a conference room where they fired us. Then they made us walk all the way back to our desk in front of the whole company to pack up. This was a very horrible and humiliating experience having the whole company watch me literally get fired. It was handled so poorly and with a lot of lack of respect. - The is tremendous amount of favoritism and gossip - Leadership needs better consultants and team members to make better strategy decision. They are very disorganized at the moment - Because of them giving hand outs to who they like most, there are people in very senior roles with no business being there.

Pros

Really clean office space, modern and fresh. The engineering folks were really hard workers and good people. The owner/CEO Seth Besmertnik seems like an honest good hearted guy who sadly got badly wrapped up in Adam Neumann’s sociopathic ways.

Cons

After the WeWork debacle, there was a huge round of layoffs right before Christmas. Loud open office plan, very “college fratty” dominated culture. Every time the sales team achieved anything, a loud gong was whacked and everyone stood up and clapped like some kind of weird cult. Lots of micromanagement going on. Inexperienced Senior directors with poor management skills throwing around buzzwords. Extremely gossipy. Everyone had something bad to say behind the backs of everyone. I can only imagine what was said about me. The product itself (searchlight) is really confusing and IMO overpriced.
