Pros
Strong early culture (at first): When I joined, the culture was collaborative, inspiring, and everything I hoped it would be. For a time, it truly felt like a place where people mattered. Talented colleagues: I worked alongside some of the smartest, most driven people in the industry. The peer-to-peer experience was the highlight of my time here. Resources and scale: With record profits and massive market presence, the company has the means to do incredible things—if leadership chose to prioritize people.
Cons
Sudden layoffs despite record profits: In May 2025, the company laid off employees without warning. With a $4T market cap and strong financials, this decision felt unnecessary and deeply misaligned with the values the company once promoted. Poor leadership decisions: Instead of investing in employees through upskilling or redeployment, executives took the easiest route—cutting jobs. This choice eroded trust and morale across the organization. Broken rehire process: Despite being fully qualified, having direct manager recommendations, referrals, and submitting 15+ applications, I wasn’t granted a single interview. Meanwhile, similar roles continued to appear on the careers page. This sends a clear message: loyalty and performance are not valued. Declining culture: Friends who remain at the company describe a toxic, disillusioned environment. The vibrant, people-first culture that once defined this place is gone. Short-term thinking: The company’s actions reflect a prioritization of optics and profit over people. It’s a stark reminder that corporate greed often outweighs employee well-being.
