Constant pivots, low morale, no growth path

Pros

Remote flexibility, generous PTO and mental health days, small monthly WFH stipend

Cons

The company is constantly shifting direction without a clear plan, and executive leadership never really seems aligned. There have been repeated layoffs, no real sense of where the business is going, and a lot of energy poured into AI without it feeling tied to a viable strategy. Morale is dead. People are basically moving through the day like zombies, nodding along to half baked, ChatGPT written strategies because everyone is afraid of ending up in the next round of layoffs. Growth is beyond limited, it’s virtually nonexistent. Roles can and probably will change significantly from what you were hired to do, and it’s very easy to end up owning outcomes without having the authority, context, or support to actually drive them.

Unstable. Messy. Low Morale. Lots of Layoffs. Toxic.

Pros

- I met really talented people that I still connect with today - improved my skill set

Cons

the negative reviews on here are true. not an exaggeration. at all. after the first wave of layoffs, the company was never the same. Dont get me wrong, im aware that a company isnt a "family," but higher ups are ruthless and love a good blame game. I had 5-6+ managers. Why? They couldnt figure out what kind of person they needed and constantly threatened to fire them and/or their team members. I was a victim of a layoff. I don't have ill will towards anyone. I don't feel angry towards them, but they need to figure things out. I waited a long time to write this in an effort to be as impartial as i could be. - no room for growth. want a promotion? nope. they'll hire out for that. - job security? ZERO. they did layoffs like clockwork. seems like its still the case :/ - morale is at an all time low.

Extremely Toxic. Not worth your mental health.

Pros

A few good eggs -- but that's it.

Cons

Extremely toxic culture driven by unqualified leadership in key senior roles. Many leaders appeared more focused on protecting themselves than supporting teams, which created a defensive, blame-heavy environment. Strong performers were often undermined rather than empowered and treated as threats rather than assets. I saw good people burn out or become part of the problem just to keep their jobs. The workload was relentless, unsupported, and unsustainable, very much a burn-and-churn environment. If you have other options, seriously consider them.
