Pros

For me, the last 4 years have been exciting and very interesting working in this space with very brilliant minds. 1. Broad Experience – Employees wear multiple hats, gaining exposure to various aspects of the business. 2. Innovation & Creativity – Startups encourage new ideas and outside-the-box thinking. 3. Close-Knit Team – Smaller teams foster collaboration, strong relationships, and a sense of community. 4. Learning Environment – Fast-paced work encourages continuous learning and adaptability. 5. Fast Decision-Making – Fewer bureaucratic layers mean quicker changes and implementation of ideas. 6. Adaptability & Resilience – Working in a startup hones problem-solving skills and the ability to thrive in uncertainty. 7. Opportunity to Shape Company Culture – Employees have a direct hand in creating the work environment.

Cons

Considerations and frustrations do exist, but offset by the culture and environment that has been established at Strive. a. Limited Resources – Budget constraints may mean fewer tools, outdated systems, or understaffed teams. This is often true in non-start up companies as well. b. Unstructured Processes – Lack of established workflows can create inefficiencies and confusion. I have seen this grow and evolve at Strive and have the confidence this period is now ending for the company. c. High-Pressure Environment – Meeting aggressive goals and deadlines can lead to stress. There were times we felt the metrics to measure every role were unachievable but this creates and sparks innovation and creativity to create pathways to achieve these goals. d. Frequent Changes – Policies, leadership, or business strategies may shift frequently, requiring constant adaptation. This is honestly the most difficult part of working for Strive, adapting to the constant change can be frustrating and a feeling of constant pivot can create feelings of chaos and low moral at times. e. Technology & Infrastructure Gaps – struggle with implementing and maintaining efficient healthcare tech. I have seen this evolve and definitely see the commitment to continuous improvement, but does make a struggle to have to work within the limits of our products, especially in the earlier years, but now we are seeing this evolution become what has been envisioned. f. Patient & Provider Trust Issues – Startups must work harder to establish credibility in the healthcare space.

Pros

Pros: The only real benefit was gaining experience in a fast-paced care coordination environment. It helped build multitasking skills, and a few coworkers were genuinely helpful.

Cons

Cons: My experience was dominated by what felt like excessive micromanagement and a very inconsistent management culture. There was a noticeable lack of fairness in how employees were treated, and it often felt like favoritism influenced who was supported or given opportunities to advance. There also appeared to be a pattern where internal relationships and personal connections within the department had more influence than actual performance, which made it difficult to feel like growth was based on merit. Communication from care coordinator leads was another major issue. Despite expectations for staff to respond quickly and professionally, urgent messages, call-outs, and escalations were often ignored or significantly delayed by leadership. This created unnecessary stress and left employees without support when it was needed most. Overall, the environment felt disorganized at the leadership level, with poor communication, uneven management practices, and a lack of accountability.
