Culture becoming Toxic - Software Engineer Aledade Employee Review

The culture is quickly going downhill. Executives from Meta, Tesla, etc are being hired and are quickly dragging the culture down. This used to be a great place to work. Now, it is becoming toxic. Managers are being overloaded with direct reports in an effort to become a more "flat" organization. To achieve this goal, the company just laid off over 100 people without advance notice, including many managers. The leaders at Aledade are forgetting that the ones who have been here the longest have extensive domain expertise and would be wise to acknowledge and honor that. Instead, they seem thirsty for outside talent to come in and solve everything - even "problems" that don't exist. Instead of acknowledging problems that are raised by employees, leadership downplays it as "resistance to change" and is unwilling to consider other viewpoints. In an effort to grow, the leaders have lost sight of the mission and values of the company. Additionally, career opportunities have become drastically reduced. There was previously a clear career path. Now, because of the effort to become "flat", career growth opportunities have disappeared. There is no possibility to become a manager or for directors to move up to a more senior position. Now the ones who have been here the longest are stagnating.
