From the inside Β· Glassdoor reviews, 2022–24
Glassdoor reviews chronicled the unwinding from inside: employees described repeated layoff rounds that cut headcount by more than half, constant strategy resets, heavy leadership churn, and engineering work steadily moved abroad under new management.

How it happened

Latch made internet-connected smart locks and building-management software for apartment buildings, and went public in January 2021 via a Tishman Speyer-sponsored SPAC at a $1.5B valuation. An accounting scandal then unraveled it: Latch said its 2021 and early-2022 financials could not be relied upon, restated results, drew an SEC investigation and fired its CFO. It was delisted from the Nasdaq in 2023 and rebranded as Door.com.
