Pros

- Good career growth for those who want it. Lots to do. - Low strike price for options due to multiple down rounds.

Cons

- Brightline grew too big too quick. Raised a lot of money and burned thru it astonishingly fast trying to find what works and makes money (still hasn't found the answer). - As a result, the company went through 4 layoffs. A couple weeks before each layoff, leadership would get in front of the company during the All Hands meeting and say that runway was healthy and there was no risk of layoffs. - Planning roadmaps is essentially a moot exercise that gets thrown out when leadership reacts to the board. - IC talent wasted by, in my opinion, managers and leadership that got in early and climbed the ladder. - One of the co-founders is not involved and many of the C-suite have resigned. Attrition is bad overall. - I'm not even on the clinical team, but I can see that they are being treated as second-class citizens.

Everyone has been so kind and supportive during the onboarding process. The trainings and learning opportunities from leadership will equip me with the skills and confidence needed to excel in my position!

Navigating the EHR system is confusing and not very user friendly.

Cons

>Disorganized systems >Racist inequitable treatment among employees of color >Lack of work/life balance >Lack of transparency >Completely incompetent management >Lack of accountability >Blatant favoritism >Unfair and unequal salaries for employees who work the same position and have equivalent credentials >Turnover rate is very high >Very deceptive and dishonest marketing. They dismiss negative reviews as reviews that are simply disgruntled employees who need to vent and say that for every negative review, "there are so many employees that have positive experiences". They want a higher glassdoor rating in order to encourage more applicants to apply to this dysfunctional company >The Brightline NY glassdoor page is a misrepresentation of Brightline as a company as a whole. This glassdoor page is titled"Brightline company in New York" only and suspiciously mostly has the highest ratings. >I urge you to go to the glassdoor page that is titled "Brightline" and has a 3.8 star rating which is a much more accurate representation of the "Brightline" experience. Most of the negative reviews accurately capture the ongoing negative issues that persist at Brightline
