Ada Health Reviews

A few weeks ago 3 of the members of our leadership team quit, and I'm assuming it's because it's impossible to work with the founders, who remain on the leadership team as CEO and CMO. People in the company do not respect them. Ask any employee in any team and they'll tell you stories: the CEO is running off and overpromising things to potential clients that are outright impossible to deliver on, he doesn't show up to important planning sessions so the product team has no idea what to implement, he doesn't bother to talk to the people running business development and so the company makes no money, he allows rampant nepotism, he doesn't care about culture or motivating his employees, he's always MIA, he doesn't bother to keep himself up to speed on important events. Employees have very little faith in the leadership's ability to think long-term or strategically. They are asleep at the wheel, and therefore some of the imcompetent people under them also go off and make huge blunders (like hiring 20-30 people in a month, only to fire them). The CEO will wave around his hands and say emotional words, but he has no idea how to actually execute anything on an operational/product level. All of this is completely unacceptable and creates the most disfunctional work environment I have witnessed in my career.

This company hired many people during the last couple of weeks and months without really needing them. Many people moved to Berlin just for this job, even from abroad ! Now they fired almost 40 people, most of them still in their probation period, because those are easier to get rid off at first obviously. Most of the fired people were also women! The firing was very efficient though. All of the almost 40 fired people were fired on the same day! Some even in groups! And those not in because of homeoffice or sick leave received a call from their manager and an HR person. 5 minuets after the firing all company accounts of the fired people were blocked and people had to leave the office immediately. Lack of humanity maybe? This company had no profitable and sustainable business model and still hired so many unneeded people just to “grow” without thinking things through properly. So if you fancy working for a company that is irresponsible to their staff, join Ada!
