Pros

Free healthcare and remote work for non corporate employees

Cons

Lack’s sustainability. The Leadership GIVES EMPTY PROMISES. There was a huge lay off in October and we were told that the remaining employees were safe and that we had enough capital to float the remaining team members until December 2023. Today was another massive lay off. Some of the team members that were spared were spared because of politics and personal relationships. Hard working individuals who helped carry the company were let go. Sad to see. New leader rules by fear and an iron fist and many employees are afraid to speak out. Human Resources are notorious for letting confidential conversations slip. Nothing is confidential. If you are still here run as fast as u can. It’s only a matter of time before it’s ur turn at the chopping block.

Picket Response
2y
Not going to lie, last year was tough and it took us a long time to work up the courage to respond to this. Which is to say: this person was very right about a few things. We made some real mistakes in setting expectations at the end of 2022, and it took us a while to learn from them. We are trying to do better, but feedback like this helped us gut check. That said, here we are 12 months later, still standing, with another round of funding under our belt, having rehired those folks we could from those lay-offs. That doesn't make what happened right, but we are trying to do better.

Pros

A lot of smart people worked here and the culture was fun at times.

Cons

All of those smart people lacked direction and often did not seem to be on the same page. There were too many rounds of layoffs to count. If you work at Picket you will get laid off at some point. The company is barely staying afloat so unfortunately that's just the reality.
