A company in decline - Mitarbeiter (anonym) bei Automattic: Mitarbeiterbewertung

The company feels like it’s been in decline since leadership picked a public fight with a competitor in late 2024 and it backfired. A culture that used to feel supportive and unique has shifted toward uncertainty, with people worried about sudden decisions from senior management. HR is widely seen as siding with executives over employees, and some leadership roles are filled by people who don’t seem prepared for them, which creates frustration and mixed direction. There are still smart, good people and the benefits are solid, but if you’re looking for a stable, low-drama workplace with a clear future, this is not it.
