Sales - Account Executive Carta Employee Review

C level and mid Management are 2 face liars Carta used Covid as an excuse to lay off 162 people (including me) because they “were being affected by the virus and couldn’t sustain all employees”. So with “heavy” hearts they made the “tuff” decision to lay off 20% of their work force. When they had over 3 years of runway in the bank if they kept everything as is. In fact they over hired too quickly and Carta didn’t think we fit the culture going forward. They then closed another $200 million series D funding... so they weren’t strapped for cash whatsoever. We were all told we would be notified and sought after to fill job openings when they were ready to hire again. This was a blatant lie. Not only were we not notified, we were turned down with canned HR emails saying our qualifications didn’t meet what they were looking for... someone who knew their product inside and out, knew how to attain quota etc... they would rather hire someone new to retrain and spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to onboard them. Wouldn’t recommend if you don’t like being back stabbed.
