Pluspunten
Before the company was acquired by Battery Ventures, the role was perfect for somebody like myself. I had training for my first week and this helped me massively in understanding the company and how everything works. I liked my manager and the majority of people I worked with.
Minpunten
All the employees were lied to by the people at the top. When Clubessential was acquired, we were promised by the CEO that there would be no layoffs and that this would only be a positive move. 2 weeks later, the CEO steps down, then follows the CIO and finally, the president of the company. Alarm bells start ringing. With no prior warning, I'm called into one of the offices and told to leave the building - they assure me it's not performance based and that they simply have to let a lot of the company go. I'm instructed to collect my things and leave the building without talking to anybody. A life-changing thing to be told as you had moved to the city specifically for that job.
