Can’t think of any due to executive level leadership. It was once a great company that was culture and people driven. That has been gutted with 2 major layoffs in the last 4 years.
With recent 12k layoffs, have to do more with less. Incredibly stretch goals that are unattainable which makes me think they are using it to justify further layoffs. Recent change in RTO policy = 5 days a week.
Graduated 2 months ago, looking into PM, worked PM for no name seed/series A funded start ups during college. Most failed except for the most recent one. Total YOE: 2+ Gimme the honesty

Been thinking about life recently. We're taught in school to work hard, get good grades so that we can have a professional certification/college degree and then be able to attain the promised land of work. Then we work, with the ups and downs, job changes, relocations, layoffs, etc. 30+ years of thi...Read more
How do you find a solid tennis partner? I’ve joined meet ups and it just seems like they’re a bunch of people without formal training. Where are all the people that played USTA tournaments as kids or played in college?
We were in relationship for 7 years. We did have ups and downs in our relationship but we were happy. Atleast I thought we were happy. This relationship started at college so we experienced lot of monumental things like getting first job. He was my biggest cheerleader. We were planning to get marrie...Read more

I was broke in college yet never had any problems getting dates/hook-ups/FWBs.

I graduated college in 2020 and since then, the bulk of my work experience has been in doing Product management for a couple of very early start ups.
