Great Mission, Lots of Perks, Poor Leadership

Pros

- Blink has a great mission and genuinely helps a lot of people afford their medication (while being a sustainable business) - A lot of smart, talented, and friendly employees - Great start-up perks, like a nice office, catered lunch daily, etc. - Stroll in when you want, leave when you want. Not a lot of work

Cons

- The CEO and COO (brothers) are secretive, poor communicators, micro-managers and pretty unfriendly. They don't trust their employees with company information We would generally find out important information like new board members or funding amount when it's released to the press - they didn't trust us not to leak information. They also don't trust their employees with important decisions - they are extreme micromanagers who only really trust their own judgement. It seems like they prefer not to really interact with their employees.

Thanks for taking the time to provide your feedback -- we appreciate hearing from you. We have communication challenges as any young startup does -- exacerbated by the particular complexities in healthcare --- but we are truly committed to creating a stellar and transparent culture at Blink. I would like to share a few things that we are doing and introducing to increase transparency and communication as we evolve and scale as a company. We hold a weekly All Hands meeting to keep our team up to date on what’s happening around the company: wins, challenges, and changes, where Geoff speaks freely in a segment called “What's On My Mind”. In addition, our head of engineering and COO have introduced Product Thunderdome, a no-holds-bar, completely collaborative product forum which meets at the start of any and every Product launch and then regularly thereafter to increase collaboration (and destroy the waterfall!) Lastly, we continue to provide our team with a variety of avenues to submit questions, feedback, and suggestions both personally and anonymously. If any current Blinker shares a concern about communication or transparency please reach out to a member of the People team as we’d love to chat further. Geoff and Matt are also open to discussions and suggestions. Thanks again for your contribution to Blink and your feedback.

Pros

Blink has it all. Inspiring mission. Lovely intelligent humans that are fun to collaborate with. Powerhouse leadership team. A company that is constantly seeking our input and ideas and actually implements them. Awesome sun-drenched office. Sponsored benefits. Daily catered lunch. Breakfast. All the snacks. Fun events. I'm inspired to do my best work and am stretched daily. I feel supported.

Cons

I can't think of one. I overheard someone say their biggest complaint one day was "today's chicken was dry.... I can't believe how lucky we are."

Great Company, Horrible Leadership.

Pros

Blink has done an outstanding job at bringing in high quality employees. They do appear to be focusing on improving company culture and morale. The service and mission of Blink is fantastic.

Cons

Leadership is a joke. The CEO and COO are consistently changing directions and cannot seem to set a target and stick to it. They micro manage and provide extremely little insight into what they are expecting, yet have no issue blowing up when things do not go their way. This lack of leadership should be apparent by the sheer number of senior-level employees leaving the company. It really is a shame because if they merely allowed the high quality employees they bring in to do their jobs they might be surprised what gets accomplished. I hope for the best for Blink because they do help so many patients, but am not optimistic in its future given the C-Level team's inexperience.
