Figma
Scaling fastOver 90 days, Figma lost 60 people against 18 joins — a net decline of 42 — with directors leaving across talent, recruiting, engineering, and enterprise sales. The heaviest attrition sits in sales (18 departures) and operations (12), while six people moved to Anthropic and four to OpenAI, signaling AI shops as the draw. On the rebuild: Figma brought in VP-level leadership for engineering, field marketing, and growth strategy, suggesting a pivot toward scaled go-to-market after the bleeding.
