Private equity layoffs and reorg killed design - Design Systems Lead Nielsen Employee Review

After private equity bought Nielsen in '22 they laid off about a third of the design staff and re-orged the company into silos. The design system became apart of one silo, which is exactly the opposite of it's intended goal. It's sad to see. I thought the SVP of design was building a really great team (apart from one bad apple) and plan for the organization. That plan seems to be fully lost now. I feel sad that the work I did on the design system will likely be implemented poorly or barely updated as design devolves to the whims of whatever product person is currently speaking. But, we tried. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
