Not bad actually I know someone who got hired there. But it’s gonna be hard to wash off the stink of firing all those first years in 2023

do they happen to know anything about RTO too?

I worked there when they were laying off associates every week and when they did the mass layoff in April 2023. The way they treated the associates who were let go left such a bad taste in my mouth that I’d never recommend the firm to anyone.

The work is fun and the clients are cool, but if there’s another tech/venture downturn, I think GD will do another massive layoff.

After you are stealth laid off, other than job search, what do you do? I assume they won’t give you work and even if they do, you can politely decline? How do you feel about you are not progressing anymore and seeing other people progressing in their career? I have no intention to make partner, but still feel a bit stuck not doing that much.
