Hi,
Thank you for sharing your reflections. We truly appreciate your honesty and the dedication you’ve shown to the company over the years. We're deeply sorry to hear that you no longer see Atolls as a great place to work. Please know that we are continuously striving to create the best possible experience for our employees.
Being part of the organization for a long time provides a deep understanding of how the business operates and the challenges faced last year, especially the impact of Google’s changes. These changes directly affected a third of our company, leading us to a very painful decision to reduce the size of some teams last year, in total 5% of the employees' population of the company. Even if the impact was significant on the business, we did our best to guarantee job security to as many employees as possible. It's important not to forget that we had to run through that reduction to ensure future financial stability through these challenging times, and needed to secure jobs for 95% of our remaining employees.
We fully recognize how difficult the recent changes have been, particularly the impact of layoffs. While we did our best to communicate the impact of external changes and financial pressures in advance during our regular Company All Hands, we understand that the actual decisions and timing created uncertainty and disappointment. We’re truly sorry for the disruption this caused to you.
Your feedback on workload, cross-team alignment, and morale is especially valuable. As we continue evolving post-rebrand, we strongly believe that clear communication, cultural consistency, and strong team support need to remain top priorities.
We continue to reduce any existing salary gaps across teams that appeared in the past due to the mergers and acquisitions, and a lack of consistent job architecture and one global Grading approach. While there’s still some work to be done, we are committed to filling the remaining gaps as soon as possible.
In the last two years, we have invested a lot of time in establishing the key enablers to support our employees in their career growth. To name a few, we have launched a company-wide personal development budget, introduced an internal mobility program, and just recently launched the Atollian Mentorship Program.
At Atolls, we believe in growing and succeeding together. We are doing our best to foster transparency through Q&A sessions, sharing company financial status in All Hands meetings, and shared messages in Slack channels where employees can voice concerns and ask questions. We recognize there’s always room to improve, and we take your concerns seriously.
If you’re open to it, we’d love to continue the conversation. Please feel free to reach out to our Talent Attraction and Engagement team at tae.team@atolls.com to share more insights or suggestions.
Thank you again for your time and feedback.
Your P&C Team.
