Pros

The more immediate management and the coworkers are great, everyone is friendly and easygoing.

Cons

The layoffs are getting out of hand. In 2021 and 2022 they tried to rapidly grow the business by mass hiring. They depicted themselves as a safest and most secure workplace, while they had no problem firing over 20+ employees as soon as there was a minor economic instability. They didn’t fire the ones that were recently hired, rather the ones with the highest salary. Everyone can draw the conclusion for themselves here.

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts on your experience at Databox. We appreciate your feedback on the positive aspects of our workplace, particularly the camaraderie among immediate management and coworkers. We're proud of the culture we've built together and are dedicated to fostering an environment that supports each and every one of us. Regarding your concerns about recent layoffs, we want to acknowledge the impact such decisions can have on individuals and their families. Layoffs are indeed a difficult aspect of any business, and we understand the gravity of the situation. The recent workforce changes were a strategic business decision made in recognition that increased headcount and investment in certain teams did not result in improved outcomes. It's important to note that all affected employees were provided with a 30-day notice period along with appropriate compensation. Additionally, we offered support in the form of recommendation letters to assist them in their transition. We understand the challenges associated with these decisions and remain committed to treating our employees with respect and transparency throughout such processes.
