Pros

Remote work was the only pro.

Cons

• The continue to brag externally about their "record-breaking" 2022, yet laid off 10% of the people responsible for their supposed success • They went about the layoffs in the most direspectful way by continuing to spend on their executives' roadshows then informing the staff they are laid off right after or even when they are on-leave. • Upper management are like bad social media influencers who constantly post in Linkedin but don't know or embody anything that they talk about • The company continues to waste time internal discussions about their competitors, but in reality the competition doesn't even know who they are or view them as a threat. • Why trust an employer on record who can't even maintain their own employees?

G-P Response

Thank you for speaking up. While we’re glad you enjoyed G-P’s remote-first culture, we are concerned about what you feel drove the recent alignment of our teams. We want to reiterate that this realignment, which affected less than 10% of G-P globally, was not a decision made lightly – or for the profit of a small few. As often happens in business, our path forward as the category leader necessitated that we better align our teams with our multi-year plan. We do understand that this change was significant for every person it affected, and we will continue to invest in and support our people. Going forward, we will continue to invest in our people and build teams critical to our future success. We understand that this change is not easy and our priority when making these changes was to do so with care and compassion. If you were impacted, we hope you leaned on the resources we provided. We wish you all the best in your future career endeavors.

Pros

Real Career Growth: This isn’t a place where you’re stuck in one role forever. There is a genuine "promote from within" philosophy. It’s incredibly motivating to see so many current leaders who started in entry-level or mid-level positions. Retention Speaks Volumes: You’ll find a lot of "veterans" here with 4+ years of service, which is rare in tech/remote environments. People stay because they’re treated well. 100% Remote & Global: The flexibility is unmatched. You get to work with incredibly smart people from all over the world, which keeps perspectives fresh and the talent bar high. Non-Hierarchical Leadership: Unlike other companies with "ivory tower" leadership, the execs here are accessible. There’s a focus on doing great work rather than navigating complex political layers. Psychological Safety to Innovate: The culture is fast-paced but fun. We’re encouraged to experiment, fail fast, and find better ways to do things. If you have a solution that improves a process, leadership actually listens.

Cons

Not for the Passive: Because it’s fast-paced and experimental, you have to be comfortable with ambiguity. If you need a rigid, step-by-step manual for every task, the "experimentation" culture might feel overwhelming at first. Time Zone Tetris: Being global and 100% remote is a huge plus, but it does mean being mindful of meeting times across different continents.

Pros

- Fully remote work - Met some smart and ambitious people.

Cons

The person who hired me was laid off three months later and I took on their responsibilities. That's when I learned that the people who previously held that position were also very quickly laid off. Four months later, they laid me off. Two months after that, they laid off the person who laid me off. And one month after that, they laid of the person who laid that person off. At a certain point, even the least perceptive among us must realize that the problem is not with all the people who get laid off so quickly. It's an org that's rotten to the core.
