Company struggles with culture and instability

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

You always get to surprise people when you tell them where you work and get the “oh, I didn’t know that company was still around”

Cons

Company culture is severely lacking, and it feels like Foursquare never found their footing after the pandemic. This, in turn, has led to the instability of constant layoffs and change at all levels, including C-suite management. From sales to tech, there’s probably a reason why the most senior level people are no longer there—because they read between the lines and left before the ship sank. Attempted to replace engineering talent with cheap Eastern Europe labor, which made a mess of the company. Now they’ve just become a shell of a company and a data broker with questionable data. Work here at your own risk, just maybe consider continuing that job search while you’re still there.
