Pros

Used to be great place to work and amazing benefits, but now even these are not enough

Kontras

Management gets worse and worse every time someone new gets hired into the Leadership team, have now just "furloughed" and terminated 15% of staff which included some illegal actions like terminating an employee in the German office being 5 months pregnant and furloughing another in the London office being on maternity leave but keeping the male colleague in the same position. Being pushed around for weeks after the decision was made and I've never seen any process being handled so disrespectfully and incompetently. American style leadership with no competence or sensitivity for regional nuances and differences in culture. Staff turnover has increased faster in the last 3 years than the spread of the Corona virus in the last 3 months and its a shame having an idea that Stack Overflow used to represent and value being destroyed step by step by such poor employment practices and code of conduct.

Thank you for your feedback. We understand that you are frustrated and hope that you’ll take the time to continue this conversation with your manager, Senior Leadership Team leader, your HRBP and the People Team in general, or through Officevibe. The company has been evolving over the last 18 months, before we were struck by the COVID pandemic, which triggered some accelerated change. We were negatively impacted by COVID and needed to take action to be fiscally responsible by reducing headcount. We recognize that there will be business decisions that are difficult to understand, without having been involved in the decision making process. However, we are confident that the leadership team has acted with integrity and transparency through our need to reduce headcount, and have worked hard to balance the needs of our staff with the realities of our business. We hope that in time - through continued conversations - that we can work to rebuild your trust. The door is open and again, we thank you for your feedback.

Company is going through a lot of changes. Solid business strategy and plan, but the environment can be intense. Turnover in Product leadership has not yet stabilized.
