Pros
During my time there, the work/life balance was great and transparency was at the forefront of most things (until Hatch)
Cons
I can understand being laid off is not enjoyable for most. But the way they handled it was beyond disrespectful. Employees got an ominous email the day before, with no clarity of what it meant. It then continued with both managers and HR not being able to answer ANY questions because everyone seemed to be shocked it was happening when it did. I have spent over 5 years at the company and only got 4 weeks severance with no benefits. It's singehandedly one of the worst layoff experiences of my life. And I've been laid off once before. It is beyond disrespectful and the most impersonal and chaotic situation I've ever been a part of. How are HR and managers the last to find out that this was your plan? How was HR not prepared with the understanding of laws for each region they are employed in. All the insights available to you, none were clearly used in conducting this better. Shame on you Steve.
