The coding bootcamp also paused enrollment in multiple programs.
Flatiron School cut employees last week as the coding bootcamp's parent company WeWork undergoes mass layoffs over the next month. Spokeswoman Nicole Kroese said some leaders were affected by layoffs. She declined to comment on specifics, including how many total were affected. Calling the cuts "unfortunate," Kroese said employees received unspecified severance.
A WeWork spokesman has repeatedly declined to discuss the size and scope of the rolling layoffs, which the CEO has said would finish by the end of the month. Other venture-backed companies, like Airbnb, haveWeWork's layoffs hit departments ranging from sales to IT,. The embattled office company acquired the Flatiron School in 2017 for $28 million.
Departments such as business operations, sales, and physical product, which includes design, were affected in the WeWork cuts last week, and IT lost about 200 jobs. WeWork's community team, who work in the company's more than 800 locations, will have to apply for new jobs under a reorganized team structure.
