K Health Reviews

If you interview here, I encourage you to look up product reviews. Ask what type of people excel at K and what their company values are. Ask to speak to a woman in a leadership position. Ask about turnover. Ask the hard questions so you know what you’re walking into and can make an informed decision. My advice would be to not ignore the red flags in the interviews. Don’t let the money or pitch of K Health persuade you, because you will quickly realize how dysfunctional the organization is and how disposable everyone is to the cofounders. Many companies have negative reviews from former employees, but please believe this one when you read it. This is not coming from a place of resentment. It’s the hope I can prevent someone else from making the mistake of joining this company. Based on my experience: K Health is truly as terrible as the reviews say. It takes “toxic culture” to a new level. Leadership is driven by large egos that believe every employee is lazy and taking advantage of them. Every task, no matter how big or small, is treated like a fire drill. This perpetuates burnout among teams and consistently tears down motivation. Even the strong employees begin to perform poorly due to the culture. Leaders purposely speak ill of each other behind their backs to create a competitive culture. Women don’t typically succeed at K because they promote argumentative and condescending personalities. A lot of women, and many men, will not thrive in this environment. Do your research and make an educated decision before joining. Company culture is not something to go cheap on. Good luck out there!

Leadership is completely disorganized and micromanagers. They tried to roll out quarterly planning and it was a joke as they never stuck to it and kept piling on competing projects with extremely unrealistic timelines. The culture is toxic with everyone being openly unhappy with high turnover and layoffs. It’s common for the company to hire for the moment and then let people go because they didn’t have the foresight to hire the right people for future goals and objectives that are constantly changing. People bite their tongues in meetings because they don’t want to be singled out and most people just do as they are told because leadership doesn’t want to hear their opinion nor do they have a problem making you pivot multiple times. The average tenure is a year which should have been a red flag for me. If you respect yourself I would look elsewhere. Many people come in eager to make a change or add value and quickly find themselves defeated, which is a shame because there are talented employees. The mission is admirable but the leaders will be the demise of the company.  Here are some facts: they offer 401k but don’t match if you exceed certain salary (I think 140k). They just announced mandatory days (3) and hours (9-6) in the office in the office. They’ve delayed promotions for over a year and it’s not common to get promotions. They don’t invest in their employees growth nor do they groom their people managers for success. For a company that is trying to help others they do nothing for their employees. It’s not uncommon for the ceo or cofounder to attend meetings that most vp levels in my opinion wouldn’t attend at other companies. It’s also not uncommon for the ceo to talk for 50 minutes uninterrupted in a day to day meeting about nothing. The man likes to hear the sound of his own voice and can’t keep a coherent thought. Furthermore, the CEO will comment if he doesn’t see you in the office during mandatory days or when people don’t work past 5. There are a couple smart leaders SVP of product and CTO, but they are poorly led by the CEO and CPO, which ultimately drag down the value of the first two. If you want to be the band playing music on the titanic as it sinks join this company.
