I held off on posting a review while the company went through some big changes, but things still aren’t great for regular employees. Heads-up if you’re thinking about working here: - The CEO, CFO, and a co-founder all got replaced recently, which shook things up a lot. - The company’s staying alive on investor cash and has about a year to start making money. - They just laid off around 15 people in another round of cuts. - No pay raises, but they expect you to keep stepping up your game. - The new CEO’s all about business and not so much about people. If you ask questions, you might get told to just quit if you’re not happy. - Diversity’s taken a hit. More than half of the people let go were PoC, even though they’re a smaller part of the company. The execs say they care about diversity, but you wouldn’t know it looking at the team. - Morale’s super low, and people are leaving left and right. They try to be open, but get defensive when you ask stuff. - It’s a high-stress vibe, and they’ve cut most of the fun social stuff. It’s not got the startup energy or the cash and stability of a big company.
