Pros

A lot to learn about digital health space. Excellent self challenge as teams are small. Paid lunches are here everyday. Entire company is fun.

Cons

Not sure where leadership wants to bring the company. Many people have left in the past month without explanations. Teams are getting scarce. Limited office space and very loud environment. Way too many people in product and engineering while scarce in other departments. Going through re-structure without asking employees what they want.

Thank you for your thoughts. Yes, we’ve had a few departures. But Vida’s retention levels are actually high by Bay Area standards – average employee tenure exceeds industry average in the area. As a young company grows and evolves, there will always be some employees who might not grow with it. And the company thrives on new talent. At Vida, we go out of our way to reward high-performing employees, and they’re staying. As for noise level, this should have noticeably improved when we expanded onto a second floor to accommodate our growth. Thank you again for your feedback.

Pros

Decent pay and benefits and they provide you with equipment. It's a startup so there is definitely room to grow, my supervisor had only been with the company for 2 years! It was great being part of such a community driven to help people. I liked working in the startup environment, from marketing professionals, to MDs we all could give eachother tips, encouragement, and support in a slack channel. It was great to experience the company like a community, in my last job we could only speak within our bubble of teams.

Cons

The training process was very difficult because they don't send you equipment until after you complete training. I had to download a whole CRM system on my 6 year old Mac Sequoia and my computer has never recovered. Also there can be a lot of misinformation, you'll be told one process by someone and then be critiqued by someone else that it was incorrect, needless to say sometimes instructions were not very clear. I think it would help if they extended their training beyond 1 week. I do want to specify that the person in charge of the trainees is great and very diligent, the issue is with company policy and not an indvidual.
