Pros

The product and product team are great.

Cons

Discriminatory policies: after discussing accommodations for a disability with both executives and team members, I was spontaneously fired after 2 weeks. I was given no feedback or indication prior, then no reason after. When I explained that it felt biased, there was no further explanation given. This is a hostile, unaccommodating environment for people with disabilities. You will not feel safe or welcome here. You'll be judged in secret and denied transparency. The founders obsessively speak about transparency, but it's just part of the branding, not the actual culture or policy.

Thank you for your feedback and sorry to hear about your experience at Agathos. Transparency at all levels of the organization is a core value for Agathos and we take any feedback that we operate to the contrary very seriously. It saddens us that any team member, current or former, would describe their experience in this manner. Agathos works to foster a culture where team members feel supported and have access to the proper resources to be successful no matter the circumstances. Our goal is always to take good care of our team members, so they can focus on what matters. We’ve passed along your feedback and discussed your thoughts with our leadership. If there’s anything else you’d be interested in sharing, please feel free to reach out to hello@agathos.com.

Pros

A dynamic start-up environment full of smart as heck people who are sincerely passionate about making a true difference in how healthcare is delivered. Every single person is pulling their weight and then some. A great place to learn, grow, try on various professional hats in pursuit of a high value mission. Raising one's hand to take on a new challenge is always appreciated and rewarded. Writing as somebody who is in the middle/latter stages of one's career, this company has done a great job of providing people in various stages of their career a warm, growth oriented environment. Not something that is true for very many San Francisco born start-ups.

Cons

The pros mentioned above will likely be cons for some. If you are looking for a stable, predictable environment where everybody stays in their respective professional lanes with little to no overlap than Agathos might not be a great fit. There has to be at least some aspect of being comfortable with the unpredictable nature of working in a growth oriented start-up environment.
