Pros
- Good compensation - Some very talented engineers
Cons
- I was hired less than 90 days before a massive layoff, along with many other people (I think there were around 30 people onboarding with me? And that wasn't even the last group of people hired before the layoffs!) - Leadership held a town hall to assure us that there were "no plans for layoffs" 30 days before a massive layoff - More than most companies, Ribbon hits the "we're all a family, we're saving the world, we're in this business to HELP PEOPLE, not MAKE MONEY" refrain really hard. This rings a little hollow when you lay off 33% of your workforce right after assuring them that you have "plenty of runway" but what do I know A lot of people would have jobs right now if Ribbon had competent leadership who gave a damn about their employees. Instead they continued a massive hiring push in the SAME QUARTER as a massive layoff, and laid off many of the same people they'd recently hired (so this wasn't even a "trimming the deadwood" situation, at least that would have been understandable!). Leadership is either incompetent or trying to make a balance sheet look good in preparation for an acquisition. Either way, they certainly don't care about the people who work for them - but they're going to spend a LOT of time trying to convince you they do.
