Pros

Long tenure employee here. Joint before IPO, when company was full of talented engineers and non toxic managers. Goodrx changed lots hats, and now there is no so called ‘goodrx gene’ any longer. Pros - market compensation for new hires - great benefits - lots stories about good time in past - wlb exists, depends on team

Cons

This list is long, I do not want to even exaggerate what’s really bad - Toxic middle management (majority one nationality) - Favoritism, nepotism - Nobody will pay adjust comp to market, within years - you will find yourself underpaid. adjusted 2% is true in 2021 - Constant layoffs, low morale - non competent managers in most verticals - Forget about career growth, it’s literally non existent - Most engineers who engineered core systems are no longer here

Pros

Great space to learn, encouraged learning from mistakes, great overall positive attitude and collaboration amongst eng and non-eng co-workers

Cons

Started to feel more of a company that started prioritizing profits and started to think of several products to ship out without much support for the reason or long term support to improve the products.

Pros

Great compensation and benefits. Extreme work flexibility. Mission driven work where you know your directly helping Americans access important health care. Company is taking a great measured approach to AI adoption.

Cons

GoodRx is an established dominant player in the prescription drug space and is starting to flounder a bit in the face of stiff, more digital first, competition. Unclear what the future holds and this is reflected in the stock price. As such project direction can be a bit vague. Similarly a long history of tech debt, further muddled by HIPAA requirements, can make product development painful.
