Thank you for taking the time to share more about your experience with us. It's great to hear that you enjoyed our perks & benefits and that you think highly of our team/colleagues. Knowing that you departed Sonder before the impacts of COVID-19 were clear, it's understandable that you feel a lack of transparency around how we navigated our response to the situation — happy to lean in here: - Leadership had to make the incredibly difficult decision to layoff or furlough about 30% of our global workforce. Compassion, empathy and a commitment to upholding our mission is what guided us through this. - We're taking the necessary steps to support our employees (previous and current) as best we can. It's been inspiring to see our community rally around each other in solidarity and support; something we'll continue to champion. - Guests now have increased flexibility for all reservations made on Sonder.com. Should they need to cancel a stay with us, they'll receive credits that can be used towards future reservations. Specific details can be found on our website. We hope this information is helpful. If you have additional questions, please reach out to hrbp@sonder.com and we'll set some time to connect.

Cons

It's closed now. Unfortunately had to happen very abruptly,
