Link?

I see a reference to them firing 50 people since April. They are still hiring aggressively, I'm talking to one of their recruiters next week.

I bet you that you won't. Hope I'm wrong. They just split their stock and it's continuing to tank. Had a friend get his interview canceled today because they removed the position, said it was for financial reasons.

Gotta love employees leaking internal information. Not that any software development projects were ever late... Haven't heard about laying off 50 people anywhere else but compared to hiring 2000+ last year it seems not unheard of.

Other companies split their stock too.

I think there's no denial that we're in a different economic situation than we were a year or so ago - it's all about how you deal with it
