It was a great place to work
It was a great place to work
Very quick, little process.
Most decision-making is bottom-up.
Large company perks and interesting scaling issues.
Good work-life balance.
Chaotic, no coordination.
Staff has gone downhill quickly with layoffs.
The few top-down decisions are generally horrendous.
Random, impersonal layoffs of your most competent employees will not benefit you in the long term. Your message to shareholders that we are profitable while you are engaging in desperate measures to balance the books is not fooling anyone.
