Dying Quickly

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Genuinely hard working and talented people trying to do their best.

Cons

The company is dying. The deals made to go public cemented an unhealthy balance sheet and set the company on a self defeating cycle of chasing ebitda targets it can’t sustain due to the deb burden. Most people are scared to lose their jobs which leads to siloing and a lack of clarity for senior leaders.

I would strongly advise against working here

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

There are still many talented and hardworking employees there.

Cons

Constant restructuring, layoffs, and uncertainty. Pride themselves on objective unbiased reporting, yet now they want to enter into prediction markets. 25% layoff right before Q1 ended. Leadership executed a reverse stock split that heavily eroded shareholder value, only for the stock to continue falling and the company to be delisted from the NYSE shortly thereafter.
