OPEN Health Reviews

Where to start... As much as the company want you to believe it is, work-life balance isn't really a priority or, if it is, they have gone about it the wrong way. Understaffed accounts, ignoring long hours worked by writers in particular (although accounts teams also stay late these days) and team morale at an all time low is countered by.....desk yoga?...management lip-service to say that they care but then cut any perks to the job? Next, it's apparent across the industry now that OH are falling behind with benefits, in that there are none to speak of really. Pension contribution is one of the lowest in the industry and benefits otherwise are effectively non-existent. There is a push for a new pay-in system that includes private healthcare, but for most that don't use it, it's not really that useful or a nice addition. The biggest problem though with the benefits is that they're being cut left, right and centre. Company bonuses have been halted as the private equity firm that acquired the company aren't happy with the profit margin (and let's be clear, the company still grew in a time when apparently the industry is failing), but rather than addressing this head on and being transparent, the company line is that everyone still needs to push to meet their (constancy changing) targets and that being busy is 'agency life'. Promotions have now been halted, or are being reconsidered (with many only getting them through threat of leaving), and the cycle has now dropped to twice per year. This basically timelines promotions in the company now - so don't join if you're expecting a promotion inside of a year. I think as others have also suggested, diversity and inclusion isn't really great - or aren't flagged as priority by the company. For those from poor socioeconomic backgrounds or POC, I wouldn't expect too much... I think most alarmingly though, the reports across the company now of workplace bullying are increasing. I'm not sure how much this is translating into HR reports, but I have to admit that the clique-like nature of some people is quite apparent...

have never been more disrespected during my time here and then was also abruptly laid off from the company with no warning with the decision that took effect immediately. I know the team is going to see this but changes need to happen. Everything I say will be 100% truthful, factual and honest. I was only with the company for 8 months, took the TA department from a function in shambles to a strong department with very few remaining requisitions left opened. After being laid off and completely shocked with no actual reason, I did not get a chance to even talk to my team about me being let go from the company, so they think I just vanished? I did not get a chance to speak with my hiring manager/business leads I worked with about no longer being with the company, I had to email them on a private account since my email was shut down. I received an exit interview through email which is unprofessional I should have had a meet about it but then I didn’t have access to my email so I couldn’t even complete it! I was not able to speak with the candidates that I had scheduled interviews set up for the day about no longer being with the company, so that is a terrible candidate experience and thinks Open Health doesn’t care about them. No one is going to follow up with them as no one else knew I had scheduled interviews with them. Terrible! I was not able to speak with the candidates that I was at the offer stage that week that I was no longer going to be with the company. I have texts to prove from candidates saying last week “Open Health is so lucky to have you, you are such an amazing person” then boom I get laid off and I no longer can help that person I just convinced for a month to join Open Health and how “wonderful” the company is. I realize this is a long review but there is just so much wrong with the situation/company/HR function. I asked to be given a severance and I have still not received an answer yet a week later, they clearly do not care about recently affected employees this is absolutely ridiculous. It is despicable to see how I have been treated. - Leadership doesn’t care about you, they will use you up until they don’t need you anymore - There is no accountability and the company promotes known bullies/problem causers - Lot of people have left, lot of turn over - Encountered disrespect on at-least 3 occasions - Worst culture out of any company I have worked at - Everyone just passes around responsibility, so many unorganized people - Never felt “great” working here, very uneasy feeling - More money driven than caring about employees Would recommend people going to work “in the industry” rather than in this consulting company I will never ever recommend anyone ever working here. Worst company I have ever worked out. They did me a favor by laying me off!
