GoTo reviews

After the company went private everything slowly went downhill. A series of really unfortunate business decisions in the recent years led to the company reaching rock bottom, and instead of taking responsibility for those decisions the answer from the board was to 3 rounds of layoffs in 2023. A series of senior level leaders (from product and design to marketing and HR) leaving one after the other throughout the year confirms that things are looking grim for GoTo. In the product org, there's too much micro-management. The company hires senior contributors and then a bunch of middle managers to oversee them. I feel like you either trust a senior employee to do their work independently, or you don't, and then they're probably not a great fit for your company.

The company is being groomed for resale. Every change made by the holding company has been negative for the employee as the management company squeezes every penny out of that they can. Everyone is concerned about losing their job it does not matter how successful you have been in the past. All incentives are gone and most of sales does not make anything what they used to because of the constant restructuring by top management. It has become a micromanaged environment where front line employees are held accountable for the bad performance directly resulting from upper management restructuring.
