Startup chaos at a big company - Engineering Manager Brightside Health Employee Review

I highly recommend this company as its been a positive experience working here. The pay is competitive and the scheduling is very flexible. They support a healthy work/life balance. I also feel that the platform is very user friendly.

The pay schedule is once a month which can be difficult. And although I have not had trouble reaching support I have had complaints from clients that support doesnt respond promptly to their inquiries or concerns.

They have good insurance and offer some other benifits

is literally the worst job I have ever had. I chose to leave because of what I believe to be serious ethical concerns and a lack of real support for both clinicians and clients. For the last two years, I have watched clients struggle while clinicians were expected to meet unrealistic productivity demands with little regard for continuity of care or quality treatment. The focus often felt more centered on numbers, scheduling, and metrics than on actual client wellbeing. One of the biggest issues was the inability to properly maintain continuity with clients. Clinicians were often restricted in how we could communicate, follow up, or advocate for the people under our care. Clients would disappear into scheduling systems, sit in “boxes,” or go without appropriate support while staff were left without clear direction or meaningful assistance. There was also a major lack of accessibility and human support. Clients and clinicians alike often could not reach an actual person by phone, and many issues seemed to go unresolved for long periods of time. It created an environment where both staff and clients felt unsupported and unheard. I stayed because I genuinely cared about my clients, and many of them deserved far better than what they received. But after two years of watching ongoing operational problems, poor communication, and what felt like profit being prioritized over ethical care, I finally realized it was time to move on. There are good clinicians working there who truly care, but the overall system itself is deeply flawed.
