Pros

SimplePractice is a place for people who enjoy being challenged. There are complex problems that require creative solutions and everyone on the team has a chance to be the hero. There's plenty of room for you to show what you're capable of and everyone will notice it. The advantage or working in such a small team is that at any given point, everyone from the CEO to the CTO can see who's doing their part and who isn't. You're expected to be resourceful but there's always support to help you get where you need to be. The management team does their best to encourage the rest of the team to share their ideas and they are willing to implement changes that will make everyone's life easier. They are always trying to improve the company's culture with team dinners, happy hours, and other team activities. They are willing to invest in their employees by sending them to conferences that will forward their skills. The CEO is constantly checking with the team to make sure everyone is doing ok and to see if there's anything that can be improved not only work-wise but on a personal level as well. He really seems to care about his employees. The office space is open and very hip. There's always plenty of snacks and beer. Employees get valet service so they don't have to worry about parking. I don't know that this is a positive or a negative but I think you need to know: Priorities can change at a moment's notice - This should be expected since this is still a small company but if you're not ready for that pace, it can take you by surprise. You get the hang of it and learn to adapt (if you're a weirdo like me, you may even like it).

Cons

- All of the "Cons" in this company boil down to Communication - The communication between teams could be better. Management has done a very good job on improving on this area and I can see that they're always working on making it better but we can always improve.

Pros

-The exec team is one of the most transparent I’ve ever seen, they don’t try to spin employee communication -Leaders are really open to feedback and ideas. At company meetings employees can ask questions and they don’t curate only easy ones or avoid hard topics. The CPO (people) is meeting with small groups of employees to get direct feedback on company culture. -Lots of opportunities to connect with coworkers, even remotely. The ERGs are great and put on really thoughtful events. Social slack channels are really active and it’s easy to feel part of the community. -Time off is great (both company holidays & FTO), particularly mid & end of year breaks for the whole company -As employees we are all completing AI training which is a major investment in us given other companies are pushing AI but providing no support/education. -The addition of our CDMX office has been a great experience, so many nice and ambitious coworkers have joined and I’ve loved working with them (and even meeting some in person!)

Cons

The rapid growth and hiring of the company has created a bit of chaos and lack of clarity on processes and decisions made. Especially around AI, they got a little ahead of themselves

Thank you for taking the time to share such a thorough review. You’ve experienced a lot in just one year at SimplePractice! One of our biggest priorities in the past year has been to communicate our decision making and processes more clearly. That can be a growing pain for a high-growth company, but we are committed to doing better. Our team is developing a robust Talent Development muscle that includes AI training and people management training. We launched Monthly Manager Connects last year and plan to grow that program further. If you have any additional feedback on how we can improve, please share your ideas!
