Pros

Beautiful building at HQ. They had really good benefits and positive culture until around 2022-2023 when they slowly started to dissolve.

Cons

Three major rifs since December 2022 and smaller ones here and there. Market had a large impact. It was really difficult to witness the frequent layoffs of co-workers without any notice or giving them an opportunity to improve if something wasn't working. Huge impact on company moral, unfortunately. That tends to be the risk you take when working for a tech company in a hard economy. Everyone is on eggshells wondering who is next on the chopping block.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. I acknowledge we faced some challenges and changes in 2023 that impacted our culture. You are correct that we had three restructures in the last year, however, they were the only actions that resulted in reductions and we ensured those team members were provided with severance commensurate with their tenure. I do want to express that regardless of how many we’ve had, each one is difficult and it’s been a challenging and emotional experience. Unfortunately, with layoffs, we can’t always provide advance notice, which I recognize can contribute to the uncertainty and concerns you've highlighted. I assure you that we are committed to treating these situations and decisions with care and concern. I’m excited about our updated strategy andI hope it also inspires our team members as we look forward to 2024. Will Clive Chief People Officer

Pros

Overall, people were fun but not many other positives in the old culture.

Cons

People thought the culture was an amazing thing but in reality, it was more a "fun" culture than an accountable and business centric culture under prior leadership. The company remained in start-up thinking for too long and not long-term business. If the old leadership is reviewed, we can see the stock price issue, layoffs at a time when the leaders were well compensated, poorly managed PE, but former employees will say the culture was fine. It was a fun business but not a business where accountability was the strongest thing.
