      Pros

      Nice people to work with. Opportunities to grow if you can navigate through typical startup chaos.

      Cons

      Following suit of RTO with no evidence it'd help the company, with clear objections from the whole company including VP level. Completely broke trust towards the leadership if there's any left from the layoff. Linkedin posts and software engineer career site still claim itself to be a remote first company. The RTO announcement is poorly written and extremely tone-deaf. The policy is also ridiculous that employees in remote locations get company-sponsored vacations to fly-in every 6 months for 3 days given the company's financials, while local employees need to pay out-of-pocket and must spend up to 3 hours a day commuting. VP of HR wisely ran off before the dumpster fire started. Essentially, there's no trust either way: employees no longer trust the leadership, and the leadership evidently does not trust the people they hire.

      We have ambitious goals for the future, and believe that we can only achieve them by working more closely and effectively with each other, as a result, this is why we’ve updated our Work Location Policy. We believe more in-person interactions will have many positive impacts, including greater organizational productivity, improved collaboration, more effective teamwork, and higher levels of trust will help to foster stronger bonds between us all. We also understand that this change can bring challenges to individuals, and their families, which is why it’s going into effect in January to give time to make the adjustments necessary.
