Pros

Good health insurance coverage; decent hours; some good people left.

Cons

Company outlook, culture, and morale has steadily eroded over the last couple of years since we brought in a new management team (rejects from Yahoo, eBay, etc.). Prior to their arrival, eHealth was a working marriage between the technology side (primarily in Mountain View) and the insurance sales side (primarily in Sacramento). The new management has steadily destroyed this partnership, creating a culture where the only people valued are the friends (and sometimes even family) of the new leadership team. Such a discrepancy in treatment would have been tolerable if the company's prospects improved under their leadership. With a company that has started to quickly circle the drain, however, such favoritism raises questions as to whether this new team has the company's best interests at heart or whether they're only here to milk it for whatever remaining resources it has left.

Pros

eHealth RevOps offers a fast-paced environment with strong exposure to healthcare operations, commissions, and cross-functional collaboration. The work is meaningful and provides opportunities to build analytical, problem-solving, and process improvement skills. Teams are generally supportive, and there are opportunities to learn from peers with deep industry knowledge. The role provides hands-on experience with complex data, audits, and reconciliation processes, which is valuable for strengthening both operational and financial skill sets.

Cons

Leadership is a significant challenge. The Senior Director’s approach tends to be highly hands-on, which can limit autonomy and make it difficult for employees to feel fully trusted or supported in their roles. The environment can feel high-pressure rather than growth-oriented. At the Senior Manager level, there are concerns around consistency, professionalism, and fairness. Communication style can come across as overly direct or discouraging at times, and there are perceptions of favoritism that impact team morale and overall engagement. There are also gaps in leadership presence and support. 1:1 meetings are frequently canceled, and team members often need to rely on other leaders for guidance. While tracking and reporting are maintained, there is limited hands-on support, coaching, and clear direction for the team. Training is another challenge. Onboarding often relies on current employees who are expected to maintain their full workload, creating a high-pressure environment with little room for error. This makes it difficult for new hires to ramp up effectively and confidently. Overall, these factors can make it challenging for employees to feel supported, develop professionally, and operate with clarity and confidence.
