      Stellar Performance, still Laid Off

      Graphic designer

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good benefits: 401k matching with student loan payment matching, healthcare for domestic partners, online therapy, Maven, parental leave, etc.

      Cons

      Despite being a top performer on my team for 3 years I was laid off on a random Wednesday with no notice.

      Greed over people

      Software development engineer (sde)
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      You can take time off when you need to

      Cons

      Highly political and toxic culture has completely replaced the one where people had each others backs. Full of BS values that they don't even try to live up to. They don't trust us, we don't trust them - or each other anymore. Employee Engagement is no longer something they strive for in any meaningful way. We pay our C suite millions and in return, they are looting the company and its culture and laughing all the way to the bank. They are offshoring jobs and blaming layoffs on AI which is complete BS.

      Pros

      Used to be a great culture, very supportive team and management.

      New CEO and it all changed. Micro Management and backstabbing all over the place.
