Toxic Flop Syndrome

Pros

There are some talented individuals on staff and the app has genuinely helped a lot of people.

Cons

Never has my mental health been in a worse place than when I worked for Headspace. It's quite ironic that so much of their content centers around taking care of your mental health at work and promoting work life balance when Headspace as an organization is an unbearably toxic work environment. You will drive yourself crazy trying to make sense of the broken systems here. Nothing works or makes sense. The SLT is the axis of evil. The magic is gone, and the few people left that actually care about the mission or have any talent are being tortured on a daily basis. It's the epitome of corporate greed ruining a perfectly good thing, and there isn't even any real wealth to show for it. The company is a completely doomed flop, the app barely functions, and their resources are dwindling. Consumers have lost trust in the brand, and their B2B business is on its last legs. Run don't walk to work literally anywhere else on planet earth.

They love sudden layoffs right before holidays

Pros

At least they let me keep my barely functional MacBook that was never replaced/upgraded in 6 years

Cons

They terminate you on your days off so you are blind sided after having you break your back doing projects on top of your already packed workload. At least I wasn't able to save anything after 3 years of no raises and back to back to back benefit cuts.
