The company has no idea what to do with their products. We were constantly pivoting and dropping what we were previously doing to rush into some new half baked project only to drop that as well after a couple of weeks. Management was more interested in office politics than actually working and were constantly trying to backstab each other to the detriment of the company at large. Constant re-orgs as VP levels are constantly fighting for additional head count for clout. When layoffs started in late 2022 they claimed they were laying off the "low performers" but it was very clear it was more about killing off the people with high tenure than it was about any sort of performance issues. Also they completely changed their severance policy a month before initiating mass layoffs to make sure they wouldn't have to pay out their "1 month of severance per year at the company" promise. Just know that if management promises you anything that its basically worthless.

The company is rife with nepotism and ineffective leadership. Some leaders show favoritism by hiring only their preferred individuals, overlooking merit and qualifications. On the other hand, some leaders are lazy, lacking accountability and failing to take responsibility for their underperforming teams. Ultimately, the company's performance is judged by its frequent layoffs. Instead of empowering capable leaders to mentor employees, the company resorts to layoffs, resulting in the dismissal of highly skilled and valuable staff members.
