Pros
I am working on the most impactful challenge of my career! The company’s mission to make lab testing accessible, affordable and insightful is incredibly powerful. The CEO/Founder is truly passionate about solving healthcare gaps and was motivated to start Everlywell from personal experience. Julia is tremendously committed to ensuring Everlywell will be around to help people for years to come. The leadership team, a bit maligned, in a small handful of reviews, is strong. Yes, they can be intense and have very high standards but they aren’t political, passive/aggressive, or rude. They are candid and direct, which doesn’t work for everyone. I appreciate leadership that holds me accountable and pushes me to deliver great work. I prefer the more business-like culture of Everlywell vs. the all fun and games “start-up” expectation. The people that work at Everlywell are smart, motivated, and supportive of each other. Tremendous focus on the consumer. The CX team is one of the very best I have ever seen in action and positively impacts people’s lives every day! Last, I would caution against people who tell you positive reviews are fabricated. That just isn’t true and echos through the more bitter/disgruntled reviews.
Cons
Hiring managers need to do a better/more thorough job with the interview and hiring process. Everlywell isn’t the right place for everyone. That is not a judgment on the people that are successful vs. those that aren’t. It is the job of leadership to ensure that everyone that starts at Everlywell understands the expectations and I think there were misses here. For example, if you want a 9-5 job, Everlywell isn’t the right fit for you. If you aren’t comfortable being pushed on your strategy or decisions (especially by women), Everlywell isn’t the right for you. The company grew too fast in 2019 and there was too much turnover because they didn’t get hiring right the first time. I believe, leadership made the right moves to terminate some roles in Q4, but turnover is always distracting and can be demotivating.
