Great place to work, but AI initiatives left a bad taste in my mouth

Pros

Good pay, solid healthcare through Aetna, and friendly coworkers

Cons

Not many, though when I was there the higher-ups made a big push for AI. For a business like Bitly which specializes in short links and QR codes, AI is next to useless for the customer. Chasing trends only kept us from working on actual product improvements.

Thank you for sharing your experience and for the time you spent at Bitly. We're glad to hear you had a positive experience with your coworkers, compensation, and benefits. We also appreciate your candid feedback regarding our AI initiatives. It's fair to question where new technologies fit and whether they're solving real problems. For us, AI has never been about chasing trends for the sake of it. Our focus is, and always has been, helping customers work more efficiently, make better decisions, and get more value from our products. As customer expectations evolve, we continually evaluate new ways to simplify workflows and remove friction, while staying grounded in the core products and experiences that matter most. Not everyone will agree with every product investment, but thoughtful feedback like yours helps shape those conversations. Thank you again for sharing your perspective, and we wish you all the best in your next chapter. – The Bitly People Team

Pretty alright while it lasted

Pros

- Lot of great people who worked there - Learned a lot - Pay was good - Code quality was high, tackling tech debt was prioritized more than most places

Cons

- Laid off along with like 40% of the company over the course of a few months. There were subtle warning signs but for most people the first layoffs came out of left field. I was told I’d be up for a promotion at the end of the year. - A lot of my favorite people have left since the layoffs, which doesn’t bode well
