Pros

Guaranteed burnout Probably more layoffs (target is another 50% of tech budget)

Cons

In 2023, Curative reduced salaries across the board and made up for the lost cash in stock. In 2026, Curative laid off a bunch of employees, and if you chose to accept the severance package, they are sending "call right" letters clawing back all of the stock they have ever given you, even from the COVID-19 days. Extremely scummy behavior. Can't believe management ever had any of our trust.

Pros

They do a great job at selling you the company. Every promise, every line they say make you think you are about to make a real difference not only for Members and Employers but also for the company itself. Well… you are very wrong.

Cons

This is by far the most unhealthy company I have ever worked for. For being a Health Insurance Company, outside of actually providing Insurance, there are no benefits to working here. You are micromanaged, penalized and harassed for having the audacity to want to use PTO, Bereavement, FMLA etc. and don’t you dare to question Policies and Procedures to which you absolutely have no access to by the way - whatever your Manager and HR tells you, goes. They hate to actually promote someone based on their actual work experience or work ethic, but more so promote friends and family regardless of if they are a good fit for the position. Don’t even bother trying to apply from within to change departments because, you as already an established employee, will be ghosted by your own employer. Depending on your position with the company, you also have absolutely no Work/Life balance. Truly, I think the only people that actually have this, are Senior Leadership and up since they seem to somehow always be OOO or leave early.
