Company in Disarray: Unworthy of Employees' Time

Pros

The departure of ST as the CEO signifies an opportunity for positive change within the company. We'll see though.

Cons

The issue beyond the ST's departure is the damaging culture fostered by the leadership. Ineffective leadership has continuously led to confrontational behavior, including very verbal yelling and discord over the years. Though removing the ST as CEO was necessary, it barely touches the deep-rooted problems. The culture created by these leaders has negatively affected the entire company, causing stress and low morale. Aggressive and combative behavior from leadership undermines productivity and employee well-being. Since they have normalized these patterns, the company's culture has increased turnover and reduced work quality. Recent mass layoffs, including the loss of skilled employees, have worsened the situation, leading to a talent drain.

Pros

There are some truly brilliant and kind people working here.

Cons

This company has gone from a wonderful place that is trying to help people to a disaster of corporate greed. The leadership team is lost and seems to have forgotten what their mission was. There was a huge shift in about 2021 where we went from we want to help people to we need to win win win. The CEO is a complete joke. She will jump in an all hands and talk about how great the company is doing and how excited she is to be launching so many clients soon, and then immediately do layoffs. No warnings, no signs. Instead of sharing crucial facts and information that affect the lives of her employees, she will just share fluff stories and pats on the back. There is no reason to trust her words any more. She also stated that the last time she felt the way she did when silicon valley bank fell was 9/11. I don't know how you can support a person like that.

Pros

1. relatively flexible work hours 2. exposure to executive leaders (though this can also be a very big con)

Cons

1. culture focused on execution, but not necessarily on the right thing - there's very much a mindset of "let's do anything and everything" without an explanation of why we're doing it that leaves many employees confused on what's a priority and what isn't. There are constant "fires"; we seem desperate in the market. 2. no investment in employees - leaders like to push employees to the limit to test how far they can go before someone snaps; then constantly surprised when employees complain and quit 3. terrible healthcare benefits - quite surprising for a *healthcare* company; good luck trying to take care of your family on this insurance policy, or god forbid go on "maternity leave" 4. temperamental and overly (passive) aggressive leadership team - I've witnessed and have been the recipient of undue public verbal floggings 5. business value - we harp on the fact that our competitors are experts only in one vertical, but isn't there something to be said about dabbling in so many areas we don't have *any* expertise in?

Thank you for your feedback. We think the totality of reviews here on Glassdoor give a more fair, well-rounded picture of the company and culture. To address one of the major concerns about whether we are executing on the right things, we strongly believe we are. The market has validated our long-held belief that point solutions are not the answer as our competitors have started to follow our model. As for healthcare, we recently upgraded our healthcare benefits to “gold” and “platinum” insurance plans and now cover 100% of the cost of employees’ insurance. We will continue to refine our benefits and compensation programs and are addressing career paths across the company. Please be sure to let your manager know about your professional goals and aspirations, and most importantly you should feel secure in expressing concerns to anyone on the leadership team. We believe in open and ongoing productive conversations leading to better outcomes for all. Thank you again for your thoughts.
