constant layoffs - Senior Software Engineer Intrado Employee Review

Layoffs were frequent, with permanent staff hit hardest while the number of consultants from South America kept growing. Despite CEO assurances that consultants would be phased out in favor of permanent employees, the opposite happened. Promised bonuses never materialized, and annual salary increases were negligible. Leadership seemed more focused on boosting the company’s sale value than supporting employees. Some projects in Montreal clearly suffered from poor leadership and would have benefited from a reassessment of the managers.
