Pros

Normal start up pros such as health insurance, 401k, and free lunches a couple times a week.

Cons

The downsides of working at GetInsured were vast. As an employee you are under valued, not respected, under appreciated, and never heard. The upper management lacks effective communication from large changes to daily tasks. Profanity can be heard through glass thin meeting rooms at times of high levels of stress. Emotional sporadic decisions are made by executives along with the CEO, with little visibility into what is actual going on in the company. Too many changes with too little insight into what the company is trying to accomplish long term. These rash business decisions always, 100%, come to hurt mid to low level employees, over and over again, with no regard or regret. If you enjoy working like a robot, being yelled at and ridiculed and given no direction on how to improve, or you just enjoy suffering, work for GetInsured.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feelings on your experience at GetInsured. As you mentioned, we do provide lunch twice a week as a benefit to employees; this is a great way to encourage cross-departmental interaction so you can hear directly from your coworkers what’s happening in their work areas. It also saves employees some money each week on lunch. We actually provide several cost-saving programs for employees in addition to free lunch, like commuter and cell phone reimbursements. There are also a host of additional employee savings on gyms and outings available through the internal company site. As far as health benefits, several options are provided—all at very little cost to the employee. Our benefits program is quite competitive in the marketplace and we were pleased to be able to offer the same level of benefits for 2018 without any added cost to employees. Turnover and change are natural in our industry—especially now. Since the new administration took office, there have been several failed health bills, and there are a lot of open questions as to what the future holds in regards to health insurance in this country. However, most of the team at GetInsured view this as a tremendous opportunity to be at the forefront of this evolving market and continue to help individuals, companies, states and insurers navigate the new waters. We are constantly thinking of new ways to respond to the market and innovating enrollment platforms—and we think that’s pretty exciting. Every other month, GetInsured holds its board meetings. Following each of these, there is an All Hands employee meeting in which our CEO talks to the entire company covering latest updates. If you haven’t attended these, we’re sorry that you missed out on excellent opportunities to hear the latest updates from around the company. It’s a great chance to stay on top of the latest thinking from the highest level of the company. We also have an open door policy at GetInsured, so if anyone feels that they are not being communicated to enough, they can feel free to speak with him/her.

Pros

Work with some hardworking and smart people Lunch twice a week Good benefits

Cons

Micro-management, especially in engineering teams No plan, no direction Ways to get promoted or get a hike = spend more hours at work when managers are around, have huge number of years of experience although unrelated Being smart, productive, hardworking have trivial weight compared to NUMBER of hours spent at work Good engineers are held chained with immigration needs due to incessant layoffs No diversity. Majority of the company across teams is represented by people of one country, which does not seem to be uncommon in the valley these days

Pros

Free food? Dont know if they still have it

Cons

1. Bad Managers 2. Horrible work hours 3. Huge layoffs without proper planning 4. Dirty internal Politics 5. unnecessary pressure for projects that are not well planned and often die without going live 6. Toxic environment 7. Bad planning 8. people getting insecure due to bad culture 9. work is very repetitive and very little scope of growth 10. Some managers are very controlling and dont feel safe giving team members independence 11. bad case of people being run to ground to implement features copied from rivals 12. State projects are highly fickle and prone to "going away" and teams get wiped out because the business model is not streamlined. each state has a dedicated huge team doing same QA etc and when the State "goes away" people become useless 13. execs dnt take responsibility and usually people at the lowest level become scapegoats for their failures
