We're glad to hear you've had positive experiences with the team, we agree they are a fantastic team to work with! We also hear your concerns around compensation, benefits, and organizational changes. We review our pay and benefits regularly against market data and make adjustments when appropriate. That said, we understand that compensation is personal, and it won’t always feel perfectly aligned for everyone. Feedback like this is helpful as we continue to evaluate where we can improve. We know that experiencing layoffs while also seeing hiring in other areas can feel confusing and frustrating. Decisions to reduce roles are never made lightly and are driven by evolving business needs. When we do hire, it’s because there is a specific skill set or role required to support our long-term strategy. These decisions are difficult, and we recognize the impact they have on individuals and teams. We appreciate your candid feedback and will continue working to create a more transparent, thoughtful, and consistent employee experience.

Pros

Good pay and good teammates at a junior level.

Cons

Chaotic management, with almost complete C-suite changes the past year, including CEO resignation Nov 1st as another 10% of the org were let go. There was also no opportunity for promotion while I was there - they didn't even have a structure for it.
