Pros
To be frank, I had a great time working at OneCare Media while I was there. My direct supervisor was supportive and offered many opportunities for career growth. The cross-functional collaboration with other teams was also enjoyable since the people here are humble and kind. Benefits and perks and compensation were fair or above average across the board, which was refreshing to see in a mid-size VC-backed company.
Cons
After pushing the company values on employees ad nauseam (including “It’s About Community”), the sudden mass reduction-in-force came as a real slap in the face. Specifically the way it was executed: a single 2-minute call with the CEO followed by an email and all accounts being promptly deactivated 15 minutes thereafter. No exit interviews; no face-to-face condolences as a common courtesy; not even enough time to say goodbyes. In the last all-hands one month prior, senior leadership presented a slight pullback/shortfall in revenue targets but brushed it off as a non-issue. To misrepresent something which clearly ended up having a major impact seems beyond dishonest and unfair to the people who poured effort into the company for so long.
