Layoff

Recommend
Business Outlook

Pros

The benefits are good The people are nice Remote work is nice

Cons

The cons would be they are failing as a company because they are not organized. They change products and systems way too much. They recently did a layoff and you were basically called into a mandatory meeting on a live stream and were told you no longer have a job HR comes on and tells you about your severance package and all your access will be cut off after the call. Management NEVER asks what you are working on where you left off and what needs to be done. That is VERY POOR Management and you will never be successful running a company like that.

Pros

- Benefits are actually pretty good for US employees - Slow enough pace that the influx of former government employees aren't overwhelmed

Cons

- Your starting pay locks in how much money you are going to make. There are no cost of living raises and promotions are only 6-10%. Safe to assume anyone hired more than 6 months after you at the same pay has a higher base. - Technology stack is a mixture of ancient, kinda ancient and irrelevant. Most of it is running on in-house designed and built platforms that have to be cycled out every 2 years as the devs who built them leave. - Posturing, politics and presentation skills are the pathway to success in technology, not technical capability. - Between lunch & learns, tech experience talks, affinity groups, employee connection programs and the regular meeting load you can get paid for talking and sitting on meetings for half the week

Layoffs, Reorgs and Lack of Leadership

Business Outlook

Pros

Smart, nice people who are able to make things work with no direction from leadership

Cons

Lack of leadership and accountability in C-Suite. Dan Schulman constantly contradicting his press releases. The biggest betrayal is saying he wouldn't layoff during COVID and his team continuing to rip people out of their jobs.
