Constant Layoffs, No Stability

Anonymous employee

Pros

Remote work, great benefits, unlimited PTO, amazing accounts and clients

Cons

- Layoffs seem to happen every pay period with no notice or transparency. You won't realize someone on your team has been laid off until you suddenly notice that they've been deactivated on Slack. Communication from upper management has been extremely poor. - They will stretch you across multiple accounts and not let you have enough time to dedicate to each client. - Weirdly supportive of AI tools. They laid off a ton of designers and in the same week encouraged mandatory AI training, appearing very tone deaf and lacking in empathy.

Pros

- My own department is some of the best in the business - Middle management cares about the people and tries their best not to burn them out despite how this industry treats talented and creative developers

Cons

- Upper management's decisions bring down the company. - Doesn't address issues directly and isn't fully transparent staffing changes - Pay could be better
