50% layoffs but still no plans - Anonymous employee Quizlet Employee Review

great people, good work culture, professional, flexible,

Hard to fully integrate as a contractor

A great group of warm, talented coworkers and middle managers who genuinely care about you as people, which made it worth staying despite bad leadership. It’s energizing to work for a product that’s well-known in education and helps millions of students learn.

The past 3+ years have been full of instability at the leadership level, and very little transparency about it, including multiple CEO changes, a revolving door of VPs, and a strategy that’s constantly changing, The engineering org was destroyed earlier this year due to poor leadership, and the product and marketing orgs were destroyed this month during the layoffs that impacted a large chunk of the teams. Struggling to see any hope of long-term success now that 50% of the talent is gone (and likely many more soon due to lack of trust and morale) and the company is relying on AI for product strategy/development.
