It was great and then came the layoffs
Benefits were good. Limited health/dental/vision insurance options. Original (pre-IPO) employees are great to work with. Opportunities for career advancements and transitions exist but may require socializing at the office to know they exist.
Leadership aggressively hired and then aggressively laid off employees, blaming interest rates. Excessive amounts of reorganization occurred.
Processes that used to be quick and efficient eventually became bureaucratic.
Listen to the employees.
