Pros

Provided training and support to get up to speed. Work life balance was important for the employer.

Cons

Lack of internal structure for teams, no KPI's or goals to focus on. Could improve in communicating current situation at the organization as they started doing massive layoffs due to new management

We appreciate you noting the training and work‑life balance you experienced. As teams and leadership evolve, we know structure and communication are critical to success. Strengthening clarity around goals, priorities, and expectations remains an active focus.

Pros

Gone. Whatever was good about this place? Dead and buried. If you’re lucky, you’ll stumble on a fossil from the old guard—those guys are the last spark of humanity left. Otherwise, it’s all plastic smiles, fresh meat, and zero clue. Enjoy the nostalgia while you can, because soon even they’ll get axed.

Cons

Work-life balance? Kiss it goodbye. Remote? Locked in a vault. Pay? From what I hear, laughably low, below average. Atmosphere? Pure paranoia—no trust, no fire, just poor bullied staff punching clocks. Micromanage? It’s the only management style they know. And respect? That’s some exotic myth around here.

Thank you for sharing your perspective. While we recognize that change can be challenging and doesn’t always land the same way for everyone, this experience doesn’t reflect how we see the organization or the environment we are working to build. We continue to invest in our people, products, and ways of working, and remain focused on creating a supportive, respectful, and high-performing culture. We know we don’t get everything right, and feedback is important—but we do see meaningful progress and commitment across the organization. We appreciate you taking the time to share your view.
