Killed EDR in favour of AI - First R&D layoff ... ever?

Software developer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good AI security training, greenfield projects.

Cons

New culture is micromanagement, no discussions. Just "shut up and comply or get out". Layoff culture is adopted: ENTIRE Threat Research team in Ottawa + India laid off, at all levels. EDR software developers laid off. Work moved to USA and Taiwan for life-support with no new feature development. It is an absolute mess. In terms of work-life balance, we work like dogs. FAANG work for medium pay. People used to stay for the culture and mission. Now, there's not much of a reason anymore.
