Absurd Workload and Bad Management - Data Specialist YipitData Employee Review

Ownership is a real concept. Growth and evolution of the company has been extremely interesting to be a part of. People here hold themselves to a super high standard.

Communication/change management could be improved. With rapid growth and new business units popping up, it can lead to silos between teams.

Most were easy to work with and low-ego, and the general vibe within teams was largely relaxed. Opportunities for skill development Structured approach to onboarding is helpful for new hires

It was nice for a while, but things became increasingly corporate and opaque. The first round of layoffs damaged trust in leadership, and subsequent decisions around cost-cutting and organizational changes did little to restore it. Midway through my time here, I was reassigned to a new reporting line and it quickly became clear it wasn’t a great fit. Priorities and expectations shifted constantly, and feedback was solicited from my peers in a way that felt more punitive than developmental. I shared with leadership and HR that this dynamic was stressful and uncomfortable, and while there were some basic attempts to mediate, the issues continued, and my request to move to a different reporting line was denied. When our team was asked to document all of our projects and processes, I asked if it seemed a little strange. We were assured it wasn’t, and that they just needed super detailed instructions for everything we did so that they could free us up for better, higher-impact work! With hindsight, being laid off a month later made sense. It was disappointing and weirdly heartbreaking to have been so engaged with the company, only for the process to feel so impersonal and transactional.
