      Constant Layoffs, No Stability

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Remote work, great benefits, unlimited PTO, amazing accounts and clients

      Cons

      - Layoffs seem to happen every pay period with no notice or transparency. You won't realize someone on your team has been laid off until you suddenly notice that they've been deactivated on Slack. Communication from upper management has been extremely poor. - They will stretch you across multiple accounts and not let you have enough time to dedicate to each client. - Weirdly supportive of AI tools. They laid off a ton of designers and in the same week encouraged mandatory AI training, appearing very tone deaf and lacking in empathy.

      Grew too fast and didn't focus on making the core work the best it could be

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - My own department is some of the best in the business - Middle management cares about the people and tries their best not to burn them out despite how this industry treats talented and creative developers

      Cons

      - Upper management's decisions bring down the company. - Doesn't address issues directly and isn't fully transparent staffing changes - Pay could be better

      Pros

      Work dynamic and peers. Very good collaboration among peers and constructive criticism and ownership culture.

      Cons

      The company is going through a rough patch and their bench policy is very unforgiving. If your current engagement ends and nothing new comes up, you get a minimal bench period for them to find a new engagement for you, or else you're out. This is even if your capabilities are more than enough to stay at the company, so this is almost completely out of your control. In my opinion, waiting for work every few months or else you're laid off is not worth the stress. Layoffs are constant, and leadership is more focused on chasing the next buzzword (AI) than trying to treat workers as people. Do not work here expecting to grow.
