Going downhill fast
Going downhill fast
It used to be a good place to work.
I worked here for nearly fifteen years. Over the last three years, the company has nosedived into a horrible place to work. Leadership is greedy and short-sighted. The near-constant layoffs have created a toxic culture filled with high stress.
Leverage the strength of your employees. Focus on core products and don't make everything AI when it doesn't have to be. Clean up product messaging, as calling everything copilot isn't helping. Make the products that your customers want, rather than focusing on shiny useless things and forcing customers to use them.
