Yes, they are!

What a shame!

Airbnb stCg73 OP May 4, 2020

Maybe they didn't expect so many people took voluntary leave, so they are understaffed now?

Carta GKCEotU May 5, 2020

I wasn't even made aware of how many voluntarily left. They aren't hiring for teams that were laid off though. They're looking for other positions.

Carta Klart May 5, 2020

Can confirm. My team had one layoff and our incoming headcount was reduced to 0. We're still helping other teams with interviews though.

Carta tsVQ21 May 4, 2020

Hiring like crazy, DM for referral.

Airbnb stCg73 OP May 4, 2020

So WTF just happened at Carta?

Microsoft azureqp May 5, 2020

So they are preparing for next layoff. My lesson is never working for a company hiring right after layoff. See Uber and Lyft

Same, wtf ?

Is it worth joining?

Not a good look after that big round of layoffs and the CEO's sob story LinkedIn post that went viral...now it looks like it was a joke and not sincere at all

TripAdvisor jhuush May 5, 2020

The severance they offered was top tier.

Tesla NMpF51 May 5, 2020

They 100% made it sound like they were laying off to save their company and here they are hiring again less than a month later.

Carta RBDI55 May 5, 2020

What are they hiring for?

Bloomberg yopuyycgss May 5, 2020

Don't bother unless you have no other option. Just another shitty startup

Carta BBBF May 5, 2020

Closed Series F with new fresh funding.

Bloomberg yopuyycgss May 5, 2020

If Carta just closed a fresh funding round, then why the layoffs? This only serves as more evidence that it's shitty and no one should join.

What a “shitty” company that gave laid off people 3 months of severance pay. Carta is hiring for different roles/team that are expected to grow. We have many products and they are not equally impacted by the pandemic. Some roles are expected to disappear, and we couldn’t keep that people but we gave them a generous exit package. Something that I’m sure Bloomberg won’t even give you.
