Sinking and afraid for everyone’s job!

Pros

Great people, good work/life balance, great benefits package.

Cons

Things are always changing and it’s not in the favor at all of the employees. Many people were told that they’re remote and now are asked to come back to office. Stock price keeps going down and I’m afraid they’ll be mass layoffs if it doesn’t turn around. Many people I work with are on edge and it’s gotten worse since we went public.

Some seriously dangerous management practices

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

neat idea, great people in the ranks

Cons

Run like a dysfunctional family business...cover-ups of real issues, manipulations of people, playing favorites, pitting people against each other. Terribly odd relationship between Sarah and Nirav that plays out with belittling and bullying by both of them. Very very slow to make product improvements, little employee (or expert) input. Mgmt team sweats the details and ignores the big picture. Thank god there is a change at the top coming.
