Pros

Good pay. Various events are nice way to encourage camaraderie. There are some genuinely good people at Wellcentive (or at least there used to be).

Cons

Almost all focus is on the future where everything will be wonderful and great - and the present is neglected. No real strategy employed - decisions are made and changed on a whim (not given time to succeed or fail). Management is disinterested and on occasion unprofessional (demotion/promotion took place in a team meeting). Speaking of meetings - there are WAY too many meetings on a daily/weekly basis - the irony of these meetings is that nothing ever gets done. People work through meetings because there isn't enough time during the day to work on things. Nothing is accomplished in meetings because people aren't paying attention because they are working on other things. This is a company in full on sales mode that promotes itself a lot, shows off all the bells and whistles, but lacks the substance to back it up. Peel back the layers and you will discover broken 'teams,' unmotivated employees, and a general lack of direction. Upon closer examination, Wellcentive isn't up to snuff and doesn't pass muster.

Pros

- Flexible work hours, work/life balance - "No-blame" attitude. Never been thrown under the bus. We acknowledge mistakes and work toward a positive solution. - Friendly coworkers - Opportunity for growth if you are valuable and are capable of self-advocating

Cons

- Sometimes we wait too long to start a project or don't allot enough time which can cause temporary increased workload - Employee experience is inconsistent, depends on which area you work in

Pros

Across my entire career, there are few things that standout about Wellcentive compared to other places I've worked: 1) The people are very passionate about their work and making a difference in healthcare 2) There are a lot of very talented people in the company 3) The collaborative nature of the employees and camaraderie is awesome 4) The product we are all contributing to is making a difference RIGHT NOW in millions of patients' lives, and has the potential to be the driving force in transforming our healthcare industry for the better. 5) Wellcentive is a true meritocracy. I have never seen a promotion in the company that I thought was political. The people having the biggest impact on the company are recognized by the leadership and tend to get promoted. This is not trivial! Kudos to the leadership team for building a culture based on merit of the employee, not time-served or politics. For these reason, I go home on the vast majority of days feeling very satisfied with my work and in taking a part of this company.

Cons

Startup/growth companies have the goal of growing exponentially fast. Wellcentive is such a company. So, if you join Wellcentive, expect that something like every 2ish years the company will go through a reorganization as part of the scaling process resulting from success and growth. Going from 10 to 40 employees, then to 120, then eventually 250, 500 employees, etc is going to cause growing pains. That's a normal part of company scaling, but sometimes yes it is uncomfortable.
