Pros

-Wonderful and helpful colleagues -Challenging work - you'll always have something to work on -True collaboration - you'll get to meet many people across several teams and see how they all come together to create a great product -People are really gung-ho about improving mental health. If you're ambivalent about it/just looking for a job, this company might not be a good fit -Talent team walks the walk - great amount of diversity among different teams

Cons

-You may spend many hours working on something just to find out it has lost its value overnight. Doesn't always happen, just sometimes -Hours can be really long as timelines are quite short. I imagine it depends on your department/middle management and the pressures at that particular moment -The benefits and perks don't come close to matching other CA Bay Area companies. No 401k matching, no merit bonuses, and the PPO insurance options are awful if you live outside of California. -You might think that there are many career opportunities in a start-up like Lyra...and while that may have been true in the past, it doesn't feel like the case anymore.

Cons

The company is clearly ambitious in its goal to become a leader in the mental health industry, which is admirable. Unfortunately, that ambition often comes at the expense of the wellbeing of its own workforce. Customer Success Managers are consistently stretched beyond sustainable capacity, with leadership citing “business needs” as justification for dramatically increasing account loads without corresponding compensation adjustments because the company is not yet profitable. What has been especially discouraging is the inconsistency in compensation transparency. Employees were encouraged to transition into higher-revenue customer segments with the expectation of increased compensation, only to later be told those moves were considered “lateral” and therefore not eligible for pay increases — despite repeated messaging that compensation is tied to the revenue size of a Book of Business. This has understandably led to low morale, burnout, and a growing lack of trust in leadership. Management frequently acknowledges workload concerns and states they are working toward better processes, yet teams continue to absorb increasing responsibilities with limited clarity, evolving expectations, and ambiguous workflows. Employees are often expected to independently navigate new processes without adequate guidance, while mistakes are met with criticism rather than support. The result is a culture where pressure consistently outweighs psychological safety. It is disappointing to see a company built around improving mental health struggle to meaningfully prioritize the mental wellbeing and sustainability of its own employees.
