Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. Unfortunately we did have an organizational change with our one of our smaller business units and we made the difficult decision to have a small workforce reduction. We aim to communicate transparently, treat employees with respect, and provide support wherever possible when changes occur. We are continuously focused on strengthening our business, shifting our investment in our people, and creating a work environment that supports long term growth and meaningful career opportunities. We value feedback such as this, as it helps us reflect and improve. We wish you the very best in your future endeavours.

Pros

There WERE great people who worked there. But wow, they are dropping like flies. “Unlimited” PTO

Cons

Benefits are weak, pay is way below industry for engineers. Leadership is literally ripping out entire departments from the top down.A VP is fired, the new person starts, the new person fires the entire team and replaces it with their own people. A person will be let go and days later the replacement will start. It has impacted so many departments and isn’t stopping any time soon. I’ve already seen it happen in Product/engineering, Finance, HR, Recruiting and other outlying departments. Most people I’m aware of are actively looking because they know the goal is to basically rebuild the company with all new people. It’s chaotic, it’s toxic, RUN!
