Pros

- Truly poised to impact a broken health care system - Has attracted a lot of strong individual contributors to drive the company forward, and they've been great to learn from - Leadership team can plan and communicate strategic objectives, which is lacking at other small companies

Cons

- The company looks incredible to everyone who doesn't have to work to build the features that power the business. - Strong engineering and product talent have jumped ship. "Underperforming, disgruntled employees" were seriously talented people who were tired of deadline-driven leadership that don't seem to accept why you wouldn't work all night to meet a target date or why building something takes as long as it does. - A scrum process was built, which gave engineering and product a healthy rhythm they thrived in, and then it was dismantled by Product & Engineering leadership due to feature-work taking too long and we're back to deadline-driven work.

Thanks for your feedback on our workloads and tech processes. We went through this review with the Product Development team because there are a lot of good points here, which I wanted to make sure we acknowledged and talked about together. The consensus was that you are correct - due to an explosion of interest in home health tests during the pandemic, we have asked our teams to do too much in too little time. We’ve all been working around the clock to help people stay healthy during the pandemic, which can be a recipe for burnout and too-high workloads. The good news is our People team is one of those teams working overtime to make things better. We have hired dozens of people in a matter of months and are doubling the size of our tech teams to get our employees the help they need. While it is difficult to recruit and interview at this pace while managing our teams effectively, we believe we’ll be in a much better place in a few weeks. In some ways, we already are. I hope you have seen that we take your concerns very seriously and we've backed these words with real action. Either way, I really want to encourage you to engage in a conversation with your manager or someone here in tech leadership about your valid concerns. We also maintain an anonymous hotline for employee concerns via Lighthouse Services. Please ask HR for the info if you don’t already have it. Our growth has fueled tremendous demand for our products and services and that pressure, while a good one to have, can be really challenging to navigate. Thanks again for your feedback as we strive to get better. Stace - EVP of Talent & People Operations

I appreciate that you took the time to give us feedback and don’t like to read that you didn’t have the best experience here during your employment. We also believe in being transparent that you did work here at an incredibly challenging period and we own that. When the pandemic hit, we quit hiring and froze backfilling roles to preserve jobs and not cut pay like many other smaller companies in Austin did. The downside of that is we definitely put too much pressure on employees. Since then we have seen our business boom and are now behind our goals to rapidly hire to meet the incredible demand for our Core Health and COVID testing products. All this is to say, that we know we have placed a lot of demands on our employees and as a result of our recent success are working tirelessly to add the people we need to meet our business goals, to add more experienced managers and leaders to help guide us more professionally along this path and to add the resources and support tools to help us do our jobs more effectively. We have lots of work to do, but with our amazing success we are experiencing we know we will get there. This is an exciting time to be here! - Stace
