Pros
Things were great at first. There was amazing culture, it was fun and engaging working online and I enjoyed showing up to work Monday morning. At the time my management and team were amazing (none of them are there anymore).
Cons
It all went downhill fast. Leadership jumped on the AI hype way too aggressively and tried to replace proven processes with BS AI workflows. Instead of using AI to support teams, it felt like they were trying to replace people and structure (and failing at it). They started firing people left and right without backfilling roles, which destabilized teams and crushed morale. Workloads got dumped on whoever was left, and there was clear favoritism toward certain teams while others were neglected. Leadership was reactive and disorganized, with poor communication and constant direction changes. Layoffs were cold and abrupt, with pressure to sign aggressive severance docs immediately. I’ve spoken to multiple former employees and freelancers who had the same experience. Overall, zero stability and no psychological safety. You’re always waiting for the next shoe to drop.
