Corporate mismanagement + inexperienced sales org = mass layoffs
Pros
When I was brought on to the marketing team in Fall 2020 I was excited to work for a later stage startup that I thought had reached a level of maturity that would allow me to be a part of a stable and highly invested team. The global nature of the company allowed me to work with team members across the world. The company had grown fast, and the marketing team was comprised of a great combination of new hires and long-term employees. Competitive salary and benefits package, fun "startup-y" perks like hobby funds and branded swag gift boxes.
Cons
Unfortunately, right before Thanksgiving and only three months after being hired, my role was eliminated as part of mass layoffs. I later learned that there were further rounds of layoffs in the months following, resulting in the loss of virtually the entire marketing and customer success teams (along with others.) Remaining employees had their bonuses rescinded, and it's my understanding that the CEO was ultimately replaced.
