Pros

Remnants of a great employee centric culture. PTO Policy. Flexible working arrangements (50% in office)

Cons

Culture degrading due to leadership style. Design being led by a non-designer, trying to force total quantitative and scientific mindset into a human judgement based field. Low morale with constant layoffs. Expectation of metrics associated with every deliverable, without clear communication of how to track these metrics. Severe upward communication distortion (leadership may hear employees but feedback doesn't seem to affect decision making).

Pros

Great company to work for as far as benefits, time off and the way they treat employees.

Cons

Company is at the point where they are now doing layoffs and asking employees to do the work of more than one person.

We know the recent restructuring has been difficult. These were hard decisions and we’re committed to supporting those impacted during this transition.
