This place is very disorganized and whimsical. Favoritism is very much a thing among c-level management. Undeserving friends get positions, influence, and job security, while people that have built the system get sidelined and laid off.

They hire a bunch of great talent but can’t keep them for long because people see through the Kool-Aid pitch after a few weeks.

The company has gone through many rounds of layoffs over the last two years, each one claiming, "We got it this time and should be good for X years."

The stress at this company is very high. There's a lot of pressure to "Be the goat" while the fear of not making the cut in the next round of layoffs looms.

In all-hands meetings, they talk about the company being in a great financial position, yet high-level people keep jumping ship (even the CFO bailed with little notice), and they keep laying people off.

It used to be a fun company to work at. No way I would recommend it now.

Just be honest with people about the state of the company.
