No benefits for Canadians:
As a Canadian employee, I didn’t receive any health insurance or similar benefits to the US employees.
High turnover & frequent restructuring:
There was a consistent sense of uncertainty among employees. I experienced this firsthand when I was unexpectedly laid off in September due to a "department restructuring". I worked at Threshold for nearly three years, during which there were multiple departmental changes and reorganizations. A lot of people came and went, indicating a lack of long-term stability and growth. When I started there were around 40 employees, (I was one of 5 designers who eventually became the only designer), and when I was laid off in September there were less than 20 total employees.
Outdated tools & processes:
Some workflows and design software felt behind the times, making it harder to stay efficient and competitive in the current industry standards.
