About

Fintech decacorn Plaid announced layoffs of 260 employees, representing 20% of its workforce, on December 7, 2022. CEO Zach Perret stated the company had hired aggressively during the COVID-19 pandemic amid rapid customer growth and revenue acceleration. However, macroeconomic shifts led to slower-than-expected growth among its customers, causing Plaid's cost growth to outpace revenue. The layoffs affected teams across the company, with recruiting and engineering among those impacted. Departing employees received 16 weeks of base pay severance, extended healthcare coverage, accelerated equity vesting, and career support services.
