Pros
Culture - In general everyone is smart, friendly and motivated. I respect and learn from my coworkers and know I can rely on them to deliver on commitments. Equally important, they’re fun people to talk to. - Weekly (company-funded!) happy hours, monthly game nights, twice-weekly catered lunches… the list could go on but overall I’m astounded by the lengths management goes to to keep employees feeling valued and supported. - Leadership makes the effort to be transparent about company performance and strategy. Work - I find my work to be generally challenging, interesting, and impactful. As a startup, GoodRx still has areas where a little bit of work can dramatically improve the business. I’ve regularly been asked to take on hard projects and had to stretch to find the resources in the company, on the internet, and in myself to accomplish the goal. - Finding ways to help people access lower drug prices is meaningful work, and as far as I’ve been able to tell this mission is consistently kept top-of-mind from high level strategy down to day-to-day decision-making. Growth - The company as a whole has been growing very fast. What this means is that there’s room for employees to take on new responsibilities, and that the overall atmosphere is one of optimism.
Cons
At times things can feel disorganized and if you have a rigid sense of what your work should entail you might struggle. I've found that delineation of responsibilities between teams is not always crystal clear - more than once I’ve embarked on a project and found that another team has independently been tasked with a similar project. Meeting times are treated more as suggestions than as a fixed schedule.
