Zirtual reviews

They laid off 400+ people (including me) with an email at 1:30am on Monday morning. All of our emails and systems were blocked, so we were unable to recover any information. Our insurance had not been paid for the month (even though it was taken out of our paychecks) so we were all without insurance, and if we'd gone to the doctor in the past 10 days, learned it would now be coming out of our own pockets. Leadership repeatedly lied about the state of the company, made selfish decisions that hurt their employees, and made a shady deal to revert back to independent contractors by laying off all their employees. As employees, there were some opportunities for growth within the company, but with the independent contractor set up, you are 100% better off just setting up your own business.

If you haven't read or heard about the disaster that was August 10, here's the short version. Over 400 people were summarily fired with zero warning via vague email. We were locked out of our company accounts, lost health benefits, and were generally adrift with no new information for almost two days. When news of acquisition by Startups.co came almost two days later, we still are left without jobs. Zirtual may have been "saved" but that means nothing to employees left to fend for themselves. Stay far away.
