Pros

- Truly poised to impact a broken health care system - Has attracted a lot of strong individual contributors to drive the company forward, and they've been great to learn from - Leadership team can plan and communicate strategic objectives, which is lacking at other small companies

Cons

- The company looks incredible to everyone who doesn't have to work to build the features that power the business. - Strong engineering and product talent have jumped ship. "Underperforming, disgruntled employees" were seriously talented people who were tired of deadline-driven leadership that don't seem to accept why you wouldn't work all night to meet a target date or why building something takes as long as it does. - A scrum process was built, which gave engineering and product a healthy rhythm they thrived in, and then it was dismantled by Product & Engineering leadership due to feature-work taking too long and we're back to deadline-driven work.

Thanks for your feedback on our workloads and tech processes. We went through this review with the Product Development team because there are a lot of good points here, which I wanted to make sure we acknowledged and talked about together. The consensus was that you are correct - due to an explosion of interest in home health tests during the pandemic, we have asked our teams to do too much in too little time. We’ve all been working around the clock to help people stay healthy during the pandemic, which can be a recipe for burnout and too-high workloads. The good news is our People team is one of those teams working overtime to make things better. We have hired dozens of people in a matter of months and are doubling the size of our tech teams to get our employees the help they need. While it is difficult to recruit and interview at this pace while managing our teams effectively, we believe we’ll be in a much better place in a few weeks. In some ways, we already are. I hope you have seen that we take your concerns very seriously and we've backed these words with real action. Either way, I really want to encourage you to engage in a conversation with your manager or someone here in tech leadership about your valid concerns. We also maintain an anonymous hotline for employee concerns via Lighthouse Services. Please ask HR for the info if you don’t already have it. Our growth has fueled tremendous demand for our products and services and that pressure, while a good one to have, can be really challenging to navigate. Thanks again for your feedback as we strive to get better. Stace - EVP of Talent & People Operations

Pros

Supportive, forward facing management and leadership. They are truly involved in the process. This is a fast moving environment, where you are given the chance to expose yourself to new roles and duties every day. Hard work and dedication are noticed here, with annual compensation reviews. What you put into this environment, you will get out of it. Benefits are truly game changing. Many medical milestones in my life here, and I have never had to worry about the bill at the end of the day. This is something I can't say for many other employers at which I've worked.

Cons

I am content here. I can't think of any.

Pros

Not that i can think of.

Cons

Compensation remains low relative to workload and has not been adjusted despite ongoing feedback from employees. Workload did not align with staffing levels, leading to overstaffing and periods of inefficiency. The role operates in a highly transactional manner, where employees are treated as interchangeable resources rather than long-term contributors. Management communication lacked transparency, and feedback was not communicated directly to employees. There was no structured training process, limiting the ability to understand expectations or improve performance. Employment stability is limited, with sudden terminations occurring without prior notice when workload decreases.
