Blindsided with a PIP instead of a layoffs

Pros

- Used to be a great place to work

Cons

I worked here for a couple of years. My quarterly reviews and talk with management were great and very positive. All of a sudden, me and several other engineers in the company were given PIP's with wild "improvement" metrics (i.e. no feedback on code in 30 days) that are completely counter to what improvement means. We believe it was a way to "layoff" a percentage of the workforce without actually calling it a layoff for legal reasons. I saw an job listing go up for my position, offering a lower salary than what I was paid. It didn't feel great to see that. No matter what you are told, in the end this is just another business.

Pros

Free Lunch Tue-Thu It will give you Curriculum to move in the future The CEO is overall still very centered

Cons

Leadership with longer tenure tends to stick together, often prioritizing personal benefit over business goals. Annual performance reviews fail to reflect business objectives, instead focusing on what management wants to highlight. There's little to no opportunity for innovation, if you're looking to bring fresh ideas and new approaches, this place is not for you.

Great people, but growth and culture are in decline

Pros

-Smart, kind, and mission-driven teammates -Competitive compensation and benefits -Still meaningful work helping immigrants and families around the world

Cons

-Career growth has stalled—promotions are rare, and internal mobility is increasingly limited -Significant culture shift since new leadership—what once felt like a purpose-led startup now feels like a cold, corporate machine -Many longtime employees have been forced out without warning, creating a climate of fear and distrust. They went about it in a heartless and negative way instead of calling it layoffs which would make them look bad. Despite years of hard work and no negative feedback, they decided to burn bridges overnight. -Inefficient processes and resistance to innovation make it hard to drive change -Workloads have increased dramatically without added support or structure
