How it happened
Expensify built an expense-management app and went public in November 2021 at $27 a share, valuing it around $2.3B. Growth stalled as small businesses slowed hiring and trimmed software spend; revenue shrank and the stock fell more than 90%, leaving it worth a few hundred million β well below $1B β with a securities class action over its IPO-era disclosures. Glassdoor reviews skew warm β long-tenured staff praised the flat, no-managers structure, generous pay and stock, and work-from-anywhere perks. But reviews from the post-IPO years also noted strain behind the slide: redundancy rounds some felt were abrupt, a relentless pace and burnout, and roadmap churn a few said pulled focus off the core product.
