Great people at the company, good environment to work in.

Now that multiple layoffs have happened, employee morale is low, according to my friends that are still within the company. No one wants to go in; no one wants to do anything anymore. This is because they laid off a total of 28% of the company, which is a lot when the company is just about 9000 employees.

On a team that I was in good contact with, I knew of two other software engineers at the L1 level. They were both laid off, each with under a year of experience under their belt (and in one of their cases, just about 2 months in).

While I understand layoffs can be sudden and justifiable, there's very little thought put into them. It felt like they laid off the lowest-level roles on the team.
