Job market is brutal for SWEs 🥲
Considering applying to intercom data science positions in the UK. Does anyone have any insight on whether this would be a good move? Is it relatively safe from layoffs? TC £90k
Even before the announcement today, I wouldn’t recommend it as a place to work right now. Honestly, the company is a mess
Thanks for your input. Why do you think this? My impression was the company was doing well and seemed to have some impressive customers.
It was at the start of this year but it was papering over a lot of cracks - bad strategy, bad leadership, ineffective process and systems. It won’t go IPO any time soon. Having said that, the product is great and people who work within product seem to be very happy!
A fun startup with a cool product, good work/life balance - compensation is just okay. it’s in a bit of a transitionary phase right now - they changed CEOs and reinstated their founder Eoghan McCabe as the CEO - McCabe was previously revoked of his title due to sexual harassment allegations which he admitted to. Demand for their product is low right now which if effecting their margins badly. Revisit them in a years time, that’s when they plan on having their shit together under the new CEO.
What are the cons of joining right now? As per what you said, it's a cool product and they have a decent WLB. Apart from the compensation, is there any other good reason to not join there?
Product is pretty much the same as Zendesk, Hubspot, and the works but without the notoriety. Eoghan has only created enemies since re-appointing himself as CEO
Well they just laid off about 200+ people and unknown amount of contractors. Product to market for right now is in a bit of a catastrophe and additional leadership issues. Was just there about a year. But that being said, sounds like they need a lot of help to punch out of the paper bag they got themselves into.
No.
I just read about another layoff. I hope you weren't impacted. Was your opinion the same before this?
