Once a well-loved company
Once a well-loved company
I was sold on the principles and the most humane tech interview I had ever been through. Amazing people, and well loved by practitioners. Work-life balance was good.
After the IPO, a lot of that humanity disappeared (removing unlimited PTO, reduction in holidays/benefits) until I was caught in poorly executed layoffs.
I don't know what to say. I trusted and was burned.
