Toxic management makes it hard to stay - Designer LANDR Employee Review

On May 24, 2026, LANDR disbanded its entire Product Design Team as part of a company restructuring. The remaining Product Managers were then tasked with handling design responsibilities, utilizing AI tools. Notably, prior to the designers' dismissal, they were instructed to develop automation for the design process. Merely two months later, the company found itself recruiting new product designers. Unsurprisingly, it became evident that human designers remain essential for creating designs, regardless of AI integration. This exemplifies the practices of a toxic company that demonstrably fails to support artists.
