layoffs @convoy
Layoffs in HR, Recruiting and IT due to hiring freeze. Culture declining rapidly. Complete lack of empathy by leadership. @convoy
Wow they hit me up for a pm role last year. Glad I didn’t join
Shouldn’t trucking be doing well these days? Anyways if you want to stay in transportation business, Argo is aggressively hiring.
Can I DM for referral, please? For ML role.
👍🏻
I had heard Convoy was doing well and hiring
Very little hiring. As of last week almost all roles are frozen.
Yes, Convoy is still hiring essential roles across Prod/Eng/DS.
I saw that someone in the SDE role has been layoff at Convoy is that true?
No, it’s not.
I saw someone post in my company email distribution list
Convoy is fine. Layoffs are in recruiting because the hiring rate has gone down. Not sure what ‘declining culture’ you’re referring to but OK I guess.
How is overall the company culture? Is it cutthroat like amazon? I know company is being cheap.
This might be a crazy idea to people without empathy, but just because recruiting declines doesn’t mean you need to fire people. It’s awful to be without a job at a time like this. Give them different responsibilities, give them a paid vacation, Jesus.
Company is doing fine. We're just being ultra conservative and prudent. We're not mature yet, and need to adjust to avoid being burnt. Culture has stayed the same (minus the distance). That said, it's always good to look out for yourself in the event of (unlikely) collapse.
How was the rest of the company notified about the layoffs, officially or via rumor mill?
Via company wide Q&A with leadership
I would avoid logistics as a whole. I would also avoid companies that boast the TAM potential of a industry and how they will revolutionize the industry with their “tech”. Brokerage businesses are extremely tough unless you a have moat which most logistics companies do not have.
This convoy user sounds like a PR person. You are contradicting every Glassdoor review from this summer
Layoffs due to hiring freeze. Seems weird
They are laying off Recruiters due to a hiring freeze. No hiring = no need for recruiters.
