From the inside · Glassdoor reviews, 2022–24
Glassdoor reviews from 2022-2024 traced the leaner years: employees counted repeated layoff rounds — several reviewers tallied four to seven in about two years, some landing just before the December holidays — alongside near-constant reorganizations.

How it happened
Stash offered fractional investing and banking aimed at first-time investors, reaching a ~$1.4B valuation in 2021. Growth stalled as funding tightened, and Grab acquired Stash for $425M in February 2025 — below the roughly $660M investors had put in. The founders returned as co-CEOs in October 2024, a few months before the sale.
