Pros

- Some smart and truly excellent employees. - Decent pay.

Cons

- Parsley Health is managed like the CEO's personal fief and vanity project. - The company exhibits a striking lack of vision; flailing about on half-baked ideas and cargo-culting the idea of "start-up". So much lip service paid to being "nimble" while functioning with the bureaucratic overhead of a Fortune 500 company. - There is no commitment to technology or technologists while the company grasps at tech company multiples. - This is primarily a marketing organization and only incidentally in the health or tech space. - More employee churn than any company should have.

Parsley Health Response

We are committed to fostering a culture of learning and growth at Parsley. That is one of the reasons that we invest in people and culture teams, team-wide manager training, and regular feedback via 3rd party partners, like CultureAmp, that have helped us create constructive systems for feedback and improvement within the organization. Everyone participates in this multiple times a year, including our c-suite. We respect your personal experience and we’re saddened that this is how you feel. However, responding to this review constructively is challenging because of its focus on personal attacks and hyperbole. We wish you the best of luck in the next steps in your journey and remain open to speaking directly should you wish to discuss your feelings about the company further.

Pros

While salary is low for the industry, that’s only by a little.

Cons

This place is chaotic at best, and frequently toxic. Robin Berzin cares deeply about her product to the point where she will emotionally abuse those who work directly with her on a cares deeply about her product to the point where she will emotionally abuse those who work directly with her on a regular basis, which could even include individual contributors if she wants to insert herself. Deadlines and priorities are chosen based on her anxiety and desire to make something go live rather than what makes sense. There is constant, relentless chaos and overwork, very little work life balance and no sense of safety about your job. *Important - This is also an unsafe environment for queer people. Time and time again, unsafe to speak up.
