Pros

Competent people and a very friendly and cooperative environment. Great work life balance. It's clear management wants to not overwork employees.

Cons

DAS42 continuously bragged about this year being the "year of acceleration" and hired about 30 new hires straight out of college. They onboarded these employees in two waves between June and July. a month and a half after the july cohort joined the company it was announced 48 employees of the 110 were going to be laid off which included most of the employees hired in June and July alongside Senior leadership. Employees were given a meager severance and kicked out of the office with no warning including recent graduates who had signed onto apartments and moved across the country weeks earlier. Leadership failed to secure sales deals and properly manage the budget and their solution was to keep their jobs and pay and lay off half the employees with no regard for retaining their reputation.

It's true, we had lofty goals this year and we, unfortunately, weren't able to reach them, which resulted in having to right-size the organization. We have learned from our efforts and are putting plans in place to reduce risk going forward. Still, we are heart broken about having to let go so many amazing and valued colleagues. We care about you and the situation you're in, please remember to reach out to Amy to ensure you’ve received information on ways we’re trying to do what we can to support you and others affected.

Pros

One of the few companies where everyone really feels like family, teams are connected org wide, and communicate on a daily basis. Leadership puts emphasis on getting time away from work after you have worked hard and there is a lot of space to explore new technologies and find personal growth. Couldn't recommend this team more!

Cons

Things move at a fast pace theres constantly something new to be learning but this is just part of the industry
