Pros

-Neat products -Remote work -Great tools - Outcome focused

Cons

-When layoffs happen, it's due to poor leadership of a company. They're also never a surprise...leadership would have seen the writing on the wall for months, yet they kept hiring. -The layoff happened over email during a 1:1 with my manager, who was also laid off. -If money was a concern, I suggest pulling back on things like Swag and the company-wide Christmas card sent out by the CEO.

Pros

- My manager seemed to be very supportive and eager to set me up for success. - Interesting technology stack and space to improve things. - I was genuinely happy with the work I was doing at the time. - Good designers and developers on the product team. - Team members who were part of the layoff were extremely supportive, beyond any expectation I could have for that situation I found myself in. I will be forever grateful to that community.

Cons

- The CEO explicitly assured the company at an offsite that finances were great and layoffs wouldn't happen. Two weeks later, I was laid off. - The layoff occurred just four weeks before my scheduled paternity leave, causing immense, unnecessary anxiety. - Once you are out, you are erased. Management and former peers completely iced me out and never reached out again, exposing a deeply cold, phony and transactional culture.
