Far more than 5% laid off

Pros

Some good colleagues Pay and benefits not bad

Cons

The recent news saying 5% laid off is bending the truth. Doesn’t include all the people that have been laid off over the last few months without an announcement. Took on lots of funding, yet burnt through it too fast as the previous reviewer said. Bought companies for crazy money and most have not worked out well, went on a hiring frenzy, executives spent money on private jet tours, budgets always getting cut and cut again. They describe this as “restructuring” or “reorg” but it’s reaction to mismanagement.

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. project44 underwent a reorganization that resulted in a reduction of our team by 63 roles of 1260 team members, less than 5% of the company, your assessment of 100+ people is not accurate. See the Freightwaves article for additional information: https://www.freightwaves.com/news/project44-cuts-5-of-global-workforce-plans-for-engineering-first-focus. In addition, layoffs are not a regular occurrence at project44 and we take our commitment to our team members seriously. Restructuring our organization at this juncture keeps us on a path of success, provides the opportunity to improve efficiency and collaboration, and allows us to better address the evolving needs of our customers. It further strengthens the financial health of the business and helps us to continue growing through economic uncertainties. It was not an easy decision to make, and we recognize it was a difficult day for our team members. We value the contributions of our team members, and as you mention invest in great people, offices, and perks to drive a rewarding team member experience. As such, each departing team member was provided with a severance package including outplacement support to aid in their successful career transition. We wish you the best in your future endeavors.

Pros

- Massive vision and the company is willing to take big bets to achieve success - Top class talent in many areas of the company - Long-term company has opportunity to go public

Cons

- Schizophrenic culture of focusing on a new priority every week. And often focusing on the wrong things - office attendance compliance, vanity metrics, in-efficient paperwork - CEO is suffocating the business with micro-management and this permeates down from top to bottom - Lack of unity across functional teams - leads to poor results as a team
