Can you expand a bit more on this, how can they let go without severance? How big was the loss? Was it contractors?

I'm in the final stages interviews and up until now have generally been looking forward to the prospect of working there. This is troubling. Thanks in advance.

Can we communicate over a private channel? Can share more. Wasn't contractors; was employees. Indeed.

If we can't, my advice to you is to backchannel. See if you have a friend of a friend's who works there, reach out to people via LinkedIn whom you didn't interview with, or find former employees, they will tell you the real story...
