54 employees were laid off on September 15 with 33 of them being shifted to India. Deep cuts made to US based engineering teams, especially those working at headquarters.

I know with certainty there is another upcoming! Brace yourself
I got the hint way back since last year on how bad things are and the writing was on the wall ngl. Jason was indicating this openly in the all hands around cost cutting measures. Really sad to see how things were being managed, especially from what I’ve learned from the people impacted.

This has been the weakest HR leadership team I’ve witnessed in handling layoffs, with little demonstration of leadership or advocacy when it mattered most
The engineering function in India is in the process of being transferred to GlobalLogic, and as a result, there is currently no significant internal engineering team in place. At this stage, it’s not entirely clear what the longer-term plan looks like
@dq yes, NJ law requires it
Were severance packages provided?
