The Impending Storm of Layoffs

Recommend

Business Outlook

Pros

The glimmers of good are fading fast under the weight of the new regime's missteps.

Cons

Layoffs are rolling in like a tidal wave, wiping out all but the CEO's toxic gigs including those cozy friends from PulseSecure. It's painfully evident that these C-suite buddies are the only ones who truly matter.

Thank you for taking the time to share your review and feedback. Conducting a lay-off is not something management takes lightly and is often the last course of action. This year, we're continuing to hire cross functionally based on business needs. Our leadership team truly cares about ensuring every employee feels valued, is treated fairly, and is respected. We encourage you to share your feedback on our upcoming employee engagement survey and with your local People Partner.

Pros

Virtually nothing left to mention.

Cons

New leadership has systematically dismantled everything positive about the company. Their calculated strategy involves pushing people out through redundancies, toxic work conditions, and unrelenting stress. The CEO's infamous mantra, "everyone is replaceable," apparently doesn't apply to the privileged PulseSecure team.
