- Rolling layoffs without cause or rationale degrade psychological safety over time. Never know when you will be picked off next or someone you work with. People are laid off same-day without handoff which causes headaches and feeling of people just disappearing
- Siloed communications mean other teams don't know about layoffs or big changes across the org, leading to confusion and missteps
- Very little chance for career progression, even with good reviews. Lack of internal promotions/horizontal movement
- Lack of product coherence and vision, their key app is lacking features like animations, games, or sound that other competitors have to hold young people's attention
- Below-market compensation with a reliance on those believing in the mission to make up for lower pay
- Often saw team members who are from more diverse backgrounds receive unfair reviews or unexpected layoffs without justification as compared to other folks
