The Honest Truth — Layoffs, RTO Mandates, and Reading the Culture Realistically

Any candidate who's done their research has read the harder stories about USAA: layoffs in 2024-2025, return-to-office mandates, employee morale concerns, and executive turnover. Pretending you haven't is naive; leading with it in your interview is suicidal. This module helps candidates calibrate honestly — knowing what's real, what's overstated, and how to address culture concerns in interviews without sabotaging yourself.
