Pros

Most of the people on the teams are great and even my direct reports were awesome.

Cons

Leadership is really bad. Just throws around buzz words, says AI a lot, does 0 work and then takes credit for it when we all busted our butts to have a great year. I mean, we had a "record year" and then half my team was laid off? Just so the new CEO (who came in with 3 months left in the year) could give himself a big bonus? Awesome, i never left so fast.

Hi there, Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback. It’s clear you cared about the people you worked with. Our people leaders understand the importance of living our values and focusing on our people. This helps create and sustain an environment where we all feel empowered and valued. It’s clear you have strong feelings about the changes in leadership and company decisions. Your feelings are completely valid. However, some of your statements about how businesses work are are not accurate. If you are open, I’d like to chat with you to understand your perspective and discuss your concerns directly. You are welcome to email me so that we can schedule some time. If you choose not to do that, I do understand. And I hope you have found a new role with a team and company vision that inspires you. -joanna chief people officer

Pros

Remote work flexibility is a genuine perk. Management largely stays out of your way and lets you do your job, benefits are solid, and the people you work alongside are great.

Cons

Pay is already below market rate for the field, which is a problem on its own. Compound that with consistent scope creep — responsibilities and workload steadily increasing without any compensation adjustment, whether through added duties or reduced headcount — and it becomes really hard to justify staying long term. Leadership tends to focus heavily on mistakes rather than recognizing what's going well, which makes it hard to feel valued. Career growth is also a significant pain point. Advancement paths aren't clearly defined, and openings are rare enough that upward mobility feels more like luck than a realistic goal.

Hi there - Thank you for sharing your feedback. I am glad to hear you value the flexibility of remote work, our benefits, and the people you work alongside. I understand compensation is important, and I take feedback on pay seriously. Our framework is built using market data to balance fairness, consistency, and competitiveness across our remote workforce. I also recognize that roles and responsibilities evolve as our business evolves. In the past two years, we have focused on providing the tools, resources, and support people need to reduce repetitive work, focus on higher-value contributions, and continue growing with the company. That evolution should come with clear expectations, meaningful recognition, and visibility into career opportunities. I appreciate you taking the time to share your perspective and will continue to look for ways to strengthen the employee experience. Please feel free to reach out if you’d like to discuss directly. -joanna chief people officer
