Senior leadership keeps changing direction, starting and stopping projects over and over with no clear plan. The company has had multiple rounds of layoffs, which has damaged the culture and left people afraid to speak up or take responsibility. The layoffs are handled in a harsh, impersonal way. Everyone is called to an urgent meeting, where they simply announce that some people are being let go. Afterward, you get an email with details, and within an hour, people’s accounts are deactivated. You just see teammates disappear from Slack, without any real communication or empathy.

- Mass layoffs for the last two years - Toxic leadership, especially from the CEO and People team - Poor planning for teams and functioning - Terrible marketing of products. Products are built and rushed to completion, with poor rollout and marketing strategies. - CEO is toxic and his poor leadership qualities run down management - Stakeholders are extremely controlling and tough to manage - Layoffs are handled insensitively and badly
