Caution: Avoid This Workplace for Your Own Well-Being – Frequent Layoffs and Poor Management - Anonymous employee TalkingPoints Employee Review

The company lays off employees based on performance without informing them ahead of time or giving them a chance to improve. There’s no process of issuing warnings, discussing mistakes, or offering support to help employees develop. Communication across cross-functional teams is poor, and leadership—starting from the CEO down—is ineffective. The company claims to value certain cultural principles, but neither leadership nor employees follow them. Despite offering unlimited PTO, they don’t support mental health days. Promotions are often given to individuals who lack the necessary skills, and there’s little opportunity for growth unless someone else leaves, making it feel competitive just to keep your job. Job roles and OKRs are unclear, and there’s no transparency around budgeting or quarterly planning. The onboarding process is weak, with inadequate training in ongoing product knowledge, and there’s a lack of mentorship. Knowledgeable employees are sometimes fired while those with less expertise but higher roles remain, suggesting that promotions and hiring are not priorities. Communication within teams is lacking, and management engages in underhanded actions that create job insecurity. Despite claiming to avoid burnout, the company fosters a culture that leads to it and fails to support employee well-being. The product itself is outdated, very buggy, and doesn’t meet user needs in the market.
