What's the mood like over at verb? Seems like there will be lots of redundancy and layoffs.
It's pretty terrible. Ppl are worried about layoffs, rumours are that J&J didn't budget enough money to keep all the Verb people, benefits are much worse when compared to the old Verb benefits, J&J chose a direction which basically resets our timeline to where it was at least 1.5 years ago.
Sorry to hear that. Similar experience with benefits and compensation when jnj acquired us last year.
Verb was sold out by the virus that was the yes man CEO KA. Marketing department tanked it probably on purpose because they’ve known all along that JnJ just wanted the IP and some headcount to help be Agile monkeys and push a robot 2 years behind through . JnJ is just a boneheaded company . They’ve known what they were getting since day 1. They rubber stamped it . Now they want to change direction ? only the piss poor verb VPs and up can take their golden parachutes and run off....

Really? I keep hearing they need more people than that are at Verb now?
There are lot of teams where folks from verb are clueless in their new role
