According to San Francisco Chronicle, the human resources platform said it placed some of its systems into maintenance mode to fix an issue it discovered during testing. Specifically, the problem left some information inconsistent, and the company said it could cause errors when users try to access their accounts or complete tasks within its system. There was a spike in reports at Downdetector at around 5:19PM Eastern time, though it has tapered off since then.
