Chaos - Anonymous employee Wayspring Employee Review

The amount of terminations of people I work closely with in the time I've been here has been higher than I've ever seen, even at much larger companies. They are done suddenly and effective immediately, then sometimes not even explicitly communicated to the staff that work with that person. Leadership says they value feedback, but decisions are rather top-down and the unpredictable nature of terminations and the circumstances surrounding them lead me to believe that candid feedback is viewed as a problem. Internal processes, structure, and staffing change so often that it feels like building a home on quicksand. The standard excuse is that we are a startup which must pivot quickly, however we have surpassed the definition of a startup as far as I can tell. It feels more like desperate grasping at straws or internal politics than anything. Reports by colleagues of sexist mistreatment went unaddressed. Employees from various parts of the companies often express that their job duties were not as initially described.
