Bending Spoons bought Miro and Airtable this month, so an engineer who lived through its Evernote takeover wrote up what the six months after a close look like. Evernote was around $100M in ARR when 129 people were laid off in one round. His team went from six developers to one. The subscription price went from $69.99 to $129.99 a year. Bending Spoons later listed at $18.4B. He reads a voluntary severance offer as the new owner announcing its plan for the org.
