Pros

Good benefits, remote working culture

Cons

The dedicated people and the remote, open working environment was something to cherish about PH. I had personally not encountered any problems with communication, leadership style, feedback, learning or growth. What I did see was many talented individuals responsible for PH's success and economic profitability being laid off on the day with no notice purely because some random guy turned up and laid them all off on a weird power trip.

Pros

Good benefits, mostly async work

Cons

The previous CEO cared nothing about anything except stakeholders, not even the app itself, or users or employees, only how to share good reports with nice numbers. Then the new CEO fired most of the company in 1 day to replace everyone with his buddies. And they did it in a particularly weird way: made a 2-minute call saying "many will be laid off, we'll let you know, bye" and then everyone in the company waited for 3 hours to know whether they were on the list or not. Pretty much like Squid Game, can't think of a more obvious way to say "we don't care about you all".

Product Hunt Response

Apologies for not seeing/responding to this sooner. We are sorry to hear about your experience as this is not the culture we aim to cultivate here at Product Hunt. A layoff is painful, especially for those affected and unfortunately, you were in that group. As you know, we had a shift in leadership and with that change, we made some tough decisions regarding our team to set Product Hunt up for long term success. We wish you and everyone else affected in the layoff had had the opportunity to see how different things are now, but unfortunately, that wasn’t possible. We know this is a hard transition, and are here to support however we can through this next phase as you find your next role, so please don’t hesitate to reach out.
