Good Team, But the Company Doesn't Value Its People
Pros
The immediate team was solid — talented, collaborative engineers who genuinely cared about the work. Day-to-day, the infrastructure work was interesting and there were good tools and resources to do the job well. Colleagues were supportive and the team culture was positive.
Cons
The company has a pattern of removing employees with little to no notice, and this appears to be beyond just the recent layoff event. It was something I observed repeatedly while employed. When the layoffs did hit, the timing and execution felt tone-deaf — I was let go just days before my equity cliff date, and when I reached out to People Ops to discuss whether vesting could be accelerated to the cliff date, I received no response at all. That silence says a lot about how the company views employee contributions. Overall, there is a disconnect between the company's values on paper and how employees are actually treated when it matters most.
