I was part of the recent layoffs, and the reality at commercetools is far worse than leadership admits. In total, the layoffs exceeded 25%, with months of silent cuts disguised as budget planning. The CEO's claims of “generous severance” are false, only the legal minimum was given. Employees were fired based on age, location, or cost, not performance. Those laid off were given bare minimum information on the how/why, only finding out more information after from an *internal only* memo that got leaked. commercetools once led the way in composable commerce, but it’s hard to see it remaining an industry leader when it's own leadership is actively driving the company into the ground. Employees are afraid to speak up, customers are seeing the cracks, and investors are being fed a carefully curated illusion. This isn’t a one-time mistake—it’s a pattern, and it’s only getting worse.

Big shifts in the market have meant ongoing changes in product and GTM strategy. Despite a maturing of the market over the last 24 months, strong product-market fit remains elusive and forward-thinking team members are worried about disruption from new fields including GenAI.
