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.

Blink Health Response

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

- Smart, likeable founders - New advisor that used to report to Bezos - Trump Jr. on the board (forget the Politics, this can't hurt).

Cons
