Old BombBomb=Good / New BombBomb=Bad - Anonymous employee BombBomb Employee Review

Job change is a major life event. We recognize that our new direction called for hard decisions and those decisions impact people. First, the comments about severance and insurance suggest a less than complete understanding of the benefits and options in the package. We encourage you to contact HR for further clarification. You mentioned the COO. She joined the company recently bringing 20 years of experience in improving and growing similar but larger tech firms. The unfortunate fact is that we already faced challenges before she arrived, such as increased competition and a soft economy among other things . In our regular town halls and departmental meetings, the entire organization was aware and engaged in projects to address these issues. There was transparency, there was encouragement and directives to act and show initiative. The characterizations regarding our founder and CEO are yours to express. Respectfully, great diligence and equanimity were used throughout this process. There is no joy in it. But companies generally do not “negotiate” in these situations for a range of reasons among which are fairness and employment law. We thank you for your candor here. We very sincerely wish you success in a new chapter.
