Thanks for taking time to leave your review. It seems like the team and work set up were a good fit for your needs during your long tenure with us. I'm sorry to hear that the business outlook and the way we managed performance and compensation no longer met your expectations. Most importantly, thanks for your many years of service, helping PicnicHealth build its core product as one of our core engineers.

Pros

Really enjoyed my coworkers, they were super flexible on account of being fully remote, and the work was interesting

Cons

Got laid off along with around 1/4th or 1/5th of the company. They did not do it in a very professional manner. Locked me out of all accounts at 9am. Supposedly they sent an email to my personal account with some information about the layoffs but I did not receive it, so I didn't know what was going on until I got a meeting invite titled "Exit Meeting" to my personal email to meet with the CTO in 10 minutes. I also never got the opportunity to talk to my manager. I'm sure it is difficult to do layoffs as a remote company in general, but they did not handle it particularly well.

Thank you for your review. Your feedback is fair - both in terms of what you appreciated about working at Picnic, and what you didn't, given your specific experience during the layoff.
