Great team, good remote culture, but very volitile
Great team, good remote culture, but very volitile
- solid pay
- awesome team
- talented, humble, and easy to work with
- fully remote with great tools and supportive culture
- unlimited PTO (though they make it clear what’s “normal” to take)
- interesting products with a clear vision for improvement
Biggest issue - a sudden mass layoff with no warning. Hundreds let go, including key people, supposedly to “speed things up” for new features. We’d just finished a reorg, and now everything’s reshuffled again, leading to chaos and low morale. Feels like everyone’s wondering if they’re next in line to get cut without much reason.
