Pros
- The people: worked with some of the best, most talented professionals in my career. - Opportunity for learning: PH's tech stack was quite modern and exciting. Lots of opportunity to grow as an engineer. - Mission: The medical mission of holistic, root-cause based healthcare seems genuine.
Cons
- 5 rounds of layoffs in 2 years has cut departments like engineering and design team by quite a lot more than half. Long tenure professionals are let go. New hires have no motivation to stay and resignation rate is high as well. Parsley is in a constant people crisis. - Work culture and people dynamics are rapidly deteriorating. People are tired, morale is low, and there is no sense of belonging to the larger team. With looming layoffs and the sense job insecurity, interpersonal relationships feel more and more cut-throat and antagonistic. - Macroeconomic environment: PH is suffering from the larger financial crisis affecting the tech/VC sector at large, obviously. - Disconnect between Medical/Operational leadership and Product/Engineering: CEO seems to care about the former and not much about the latter.
