Great People, But Culture Took a Turn

Pros

Worked with some incredibly smart and supportive teammates. Flexible work environment and decent benefits. Good opportunities to learn

Cons

Layoffs felt sudden and poorly communicated, creating a lot of anxiety and distrust. The C+4 (quarterly reviews) process became overly focused on numbers, often missing customer realities. Felt more like a performance trap than a constructive review. Management seemed increasingly out of touch with day-to-day customer challenges. Too many meetings that didn’t add value—made it harder to get actual work done.
