Pros

Colleagues were god, some very smart and hardworking people. The marketing team was a little clueless after the VP left, but found ways to work. Altus days (Acuity days now, I guess, if it's still there) were good. Everyone I worked wanted to and put in genuine efforts for the company to be successful, with little belief in the product.

Cons

We had some layoffs in Oct. 2022 and were informed that there will be no further layoffs. There were more layoffs in Feb. 2023 including people on maternity leave! The senior management is clueless. They do not have vision for products, hire and fire on whims. Only founders believe in the products. Product team feels a little discriminatory with the head bringing people from his last organization, firing others and favouring white people.

Thank you for sharing your experience and observations with us and the Glassdoor community. The decision to reduce the team, putting our business on a path to sustainable and responsible growth, impacted so many people - in tangible and intangible ways. We acknowledge the financial and emotional impact on those who lost their jobs. It affected their lives and livelihoods in ways we will never fully know and understand. Our remaining team has benefited from learning the broader context behind the decisions and factors that created conditions for our layoffs. The people directly impacted will understandably have different perspectives and feelings about what happened. If you feel you can benefit from a follow-up conversation or if we can support you in any way, please reach out to someone you feel safe talking to on our team or contact me (Tine) at thaugen@acuityinsights.com.
