Great opportunity, Great People and Chaoctic - Fullstack Engineer Vira Health Employee Review

Hires great people. I really enjoyed working with my colleagues - the people who are there care a lot about the mission, which makes for a nice company culture. I also think the founders are genuine about putting women’s health first, and come at the job with a really good value system. I appreciated the open door policy, and felt my ideas were heard, even if the bottom line meant there wasn't scope to action everything. Being a start-up, there is high accountability and expectation to move at pace, but I always felt the expectations were reasonable, and managers + founders were accomodating when it mattered. I really enjoyed my time there.

The cons were largely things that relate to start-ups in general. As the immediate needs of the company shift, so may your role. You may find yourself working in an adjacent role to where you started or intended to go. Given its small, there is less formalised training/mentoring and clear stepped progression. But these things can be a pro or a con depending on what you want to get out of it.

working towards a great cause will help so many women including women in my life day to day teams are great to work with made some really good hires over the last couple of years in senior positions, these people really care about their teams

founders are brutal and micromanage daily we are always told to work harder, despite working as hard as possible and all feeling burnout founders are inexperienced and have no people management skills employee wellbeing is not important as long as the work gets done employee retention is not important, we are told if you don't like it here then leave company communication is non existent, even all hands meetings are dictated by the founders feedback is not welcomed by the founders mental health and wellbeing massively affected from working here
