Pros

The company stock bonus program is good!

Cons

Stock bonus is future money with constant layoffs this can be pie in the sky. The technology stack is archaic, never seen something like this. Most devs have absolutely no idea how to solve problems rather defer to patches and bandaids. A lot of yelling and scrambling in team meetings, non developers are out touch and ignorant to the plight of the devs While they boast about purple culture, in all honesty the engagement is pretty mediocre and it's difficult to contrast your work with others as everyone tries to act like they do actual work when really a couple of people do all the heavy lifting.

HealthEquity Inc. Response

Thanks for providing this feedback, which we will share with our technology leaders. Following the hire of our new CTO last year, HealthEquity began a technology transformation. That transformation has unfortunately necessitated reductions in force in our Technology Department that helped us realign our skill strategy with our future-state vision.

Pros

Benefits, perks, remote work, unlimited PTO, and stock options.

Cons

Unfortunately, what has happened with most companies that grow too fast has occurred here. Too much focus on sales and marketing, and diminished focus on retaining clients or making sure new technology and processes are properly trained. Because of miscommunication and a lack of training, it's impossible to get help from other departments without a ton of pushback. Management would rather blame employees for problems than examine why processes aren't working properly. They now want all roles to sell product, even though that is not in their job descriptions. I wish HR would be more involved in how management speaks to employees because it's incredibly unethical and problematic every time we have a meeting. Whoever the C-suite is listening to on how to be good leaders should be fired, because they are taking a page out of every toxic workplace stereotype, instead of looking at how things can be ethically and properly fixed. There is no focus on clients or employees anymore, just getting more money.
