Pros

You receive quality training to get you onboarded, goals reachable

Cons

They fired 20 people with higher salaries and after a month they started searching for people for the same positions but with starting salaries. So they advertise promotions and constant growth while the truth is far from it

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We understand that our recent decision to reduce the size of a few of our teams has caused confusion and concern. We were faced with a challenging decision to reduce the size of our team by 13 people due to over-hiring at the end of 2022. Despite our best efforts, these larger teams did not produce improved results. It is important to mention that this decision was not a reflection of any specific individual's performance and more a factor of not having enough work for the entire team. Further, we have not backfilled these roles, nor are we actively searching for new people to fill them. Additionally, we are being much more cautious about hiring too quickly going forward. We know this was an unexpected decision for the team members effected. So, in addition to our standard 30-day severance package, we provided full reimbursements for all computer equipment purchased. We appreciate your feedback and wish you all the best.
