I was impacted a few years back. For engineering roles, they generally offered two weeks of base pay for every year of service. They also paid out accrued vacation time. Benefits continued for a few months after the separation date, but don't quote me. Get your resume polished up, just in case, and start networking. Better to be proactive than reactive. Good luck to you.
Take everything you read on Glassdoor with a massive grain of salt. Severance packages are highly variable, depending on your specific role, tenure, and the circumstances surrounding any potential layoff. Four years isn't exactly a short stint, but it isn't a long one either. It's probably more realistic to expect something closer to the bare minimum required by law, plus maybe a little extra for good measure. Don't plan your life around a golden parachute.
