Pros
Good day-to-day environment. Nice office. Good parties too, for what thats worth now.
Cons
As of writing, Recast has just recently gone into administration, laid off its entire staff without our final paychecks, was purchased out of administration by a company called CTP - which was started and is part-owned by the CEO of Recast (the general sentiment in the office was that CTP was just a sort of off-shoot of Recast itself) - and has subsequently rehired half of its staff, again without compensating the still laid-off staff. In the coming days its expected to restart operation, all within a turnover of a little over two weeks, with the original CEO still in charge. None of this is insider knowledge, it can all be found online at this point, but i think there is value is stating that timeline in context. I shouldn't need to explain further just how shady this feels. This all feels like a round of layoffs with extra steps; shaking off any financial responsibility towards the laid-off staff while keeping the management team basically intact. It feels shifty and wrong, and forces me to suspect that this administration was predicted well ahead of time, even though it was made out to be a surprise, and the fact that the staff were not compensated (or even paid their final months wage) was a planned-for consequence.
