Real talk: in what way private schools are better than public in nyc?
Everyone here seems to know what happened in their own group but no one knows the whole picture-let’s build it here. What are the cuts that happened, by group? Share info about groups where you know the real story. Lets keep this thread positive and just share factual information so we can figure out the scale of the RIF. No names or slamming who is left-just facts. Here is what I know for sure: Sales: sales reps and SEs cut by more than 30%, sales rep count is half what it was two years ago. #
CS(including CSM TAM PS) got affected for about 30%
Exa what?
Exa RIP.
Product had some cuts as well…
Corporate marketing. Federal sales. Engineering. Product. Maybe some corporate infosec. R&D. Program managers, etc. The cuts were across the board. It wasn’t isolated to just one group. For anyone that was cut, you received a summary of titles (not actual names) of all the people who were cut back in October. I only know this because I was cut. Just the way it goes. My fear and the fear of remaining folks is the elusive “next round” and whether it’ll happen early next year (or not). Many were caught off guard in October so it’s no surprise some of the remaining folks are anxious and likely looking for other jobs now.
The CMO with marketing folks was let go. Engineering: Including VP Eng, Director QA was let go. (The ones who came from Aruba/HP) were retained. TA/HR: TA and HRBPs were laid off (The ones who came from Bluevine along with GD were retained) Accounts and other departments were affected to some extent. IT was impacted, too. Product: Some were affected (The ones who came with AG from Palo Alto were retained)
Sales isn’t bringing in 30% higher any longer so cut by 30%. Just business nothing personal.
FOC (Friends of Cesio) seem to all be marked safe. So, it was personal - if you have friends in the right places.
