Pros

Vida Health app is great and our mission to help people is fantastic.

Cons

Unsure what is going on with the company. Talent retention is at its low. We are losing great talent one after another. HR is managed with no experience. Accountant team is practically non-existent now after resignations. IT does not exist. Constantly hear complaints about the company while nobody is addressing the issues. Culture is being fixed by "after work hangouts" makes it seem like leadership does not want to waste any time building culture during work hours when employees are being "paid". Nobody attends these hangouts including the leadership team.

Thank you for taking the time to comment. We’re happy that you think highly of Vida’s mission and product. As with most startups, we’ve experienced our share of iterating and growing from mistakes, but today we’re well positioned to take on the market. As for talent retention, it’s actually quite high by Bay Area standards. Our average employee tenure is higher than industry average in the area. This year we’ve had to make a few tough choices and part with people who weren’t a good fit with the company. But we go out of our way to reward high-performing employees, and they’re staying. A good social culture is important at Vida and we’ve recently organized company events: Giants games, sailing on the Bay, group fitness classes, etc. These events get good turn-out. And while we’d love to have every employee participate in every event, we also know people need to spend time with families and friends.

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.
