Smart People, Dying Office
Smart People, Dying Office
A lot of genuinely good, smart people work there.
The Sydney office is dying due to mismanagement.
Twenty developers were laid off in January, and another 20 just now. Some of those were fresh grads who started after the first layoffs.
No town halls this year.
We were doing interviews for intern and grad roles for this Summer, which no longer exist. Decisions around redundancies were very political (both global and locally).
Maybe have some foresight? It really feels like it's business as usual until management sees that their own bonuses aren't going to be big enough before they'd consider changing anything.
