Pros

My overall experience at Lose It! has been very positive. I feel like the work is engaging and meaningful, and I love knowing that the product I work on helps people live healthier lives. My coworkers are friendly, helpful, talented people who really make it a great place to work. The company also has exceptional benefits. The two that stand out to me are 100% health insurance coverage and the annual company trip to Europe (unfortunately postponed this year, but hoping we’ll travel in 2021!) I also really like the work/life balance the company promotes. I never feel like I need to put in a certain amount of ‘face time’ but rather I can get the work done on my own time. It’s never a problem if I need to take some personal time in the middle of the day as long as I’m on top of things.

Cons

I’ve noticed some issues with communicaiton as the company has grown. Working remote this year has probably made it worse but I think it’s one area the company can improve. I also think it’s the kind of place where you really need to figure out things on your own. People are very willing to help when you ask them, but there’s not as much hands on guidance as I’ve experienced elsewhere. Not really a con, but something I think candidates should know before they apply.

We are glad you are enjoying the benefits we have to offer and are using them as intended to optimize your life and work experience. We don’t need to work a 9 to 5 schedule to support our mission but we do need to work together to support our members. They don’t punch a clock and neither do we in our efforts to support each other. This means some weeks are lighter and some weeks are heavier. Regardless, we trust our employees will deliver. As a small start-up that has scaled in size, communication continues to be an area of improvement for us, especially in a year where we are all working remotely. We do have new online tools and systems that have helped us in this space in addition to our existing channels (direct communication to managers, CEO, and President, regular team meetings, etc.). But, we know we have more work to do in improving general communication, adjusting to individual communication styles and continuing to find ways to stay connected while we are apart. In regards to health insurance, our goal was to add an additional offering for employees (generated from an employee request), and we have no plans to change or reduce any benefits in the near future.

Pros

Lots of independence and control over work that makes a difference in the lives of millions of people

Cons

A little under resourced for how much we try to do. Could use a few more hires to do more

Pros

The biggest pro at this company is its transparency. From my experience, unless a question would violates someone's privacy, there is no question that will not receive a direct answer. It helps give me insight into what's going on in with the company big picture and gives me a sense of trust that the exec team is looking out for me. The company has amazing benefits. Since there are no investors to satisfy, Lose It! can focus on the two things that are most important: its users and its employees. And it shows with the amazing health care plan and the summer retreats to other countries (seriously... no other company does that) and too many other benefits to list here. The company is growing unlike other startups. With a focused, purpose-driven growth model, we have a controlled growth that allows for new hires to come in and have a more direct impact on the millions of users we are trying to help.

Cons

We did have some growing pains in the company culture as we grew from a small team into the company we have today. We're still working through those issues but I think the exec team has taken major efforts over the past year to eliminate those issues. Some of these issues have been noted in other reviews and I think they are being addressed. As I mentioned in the pros section, one of my favorite things about the company is its transparency. So if you are considering joining Lose It! and any reviews here are giving you pause, please don't dismiss us immediately. I encourage you to speak to us and ask the hard questions because we want to answer them.
