Pros

Nothing that I am aware of. Trust me there is no positive things about this company at this moment for me to share here except there were very few good talented employees worked in this company in the past.

Cons

This company doesn't value employee employer relation and make you work 24 x 7. The management is irresponsible and they don't have any good vision about the future about the company. Due to this reason the company is now running in huge loss and there were already 2 rounds of layoffs and the remaining talented people have already left. The people who sticks there now are those who were either trying new job outside or those who didn't got any job outside yet. They need someone who works even after bussiness hours and the company managers play dirty politics. They will terminate you if any managers have any personal issues with any employees. They don't appreciate nor promote talented people. The employees who are on H1B struggles the most and they are repenting for their decision in joining GI. So my advice is to stay away from this company.

We take a lot of pride in the work that we do at GetInsured and we’re sorry to hear you were so unhappy. We are also proud of our staff, which includes some of Silicon Valley’s top talent. As far as work/life balance, we aim to have a happy, team-oriented work environment and will look into your claim of an overwhelming workload. We do recognize that it can be heavy at times prior to releases, or a new program launch, but we also feel that would be true of many companies. Our HR and executive teams are always working hard not only to find new initiatives that continue to foster work / life balance, but to also better employee engagement and team interaction. I think one of our reviews said it best, “GetInsured is a growing business in a changing market, so there are bound to be some adjustments and course corrections.” This may be misconstrued as a lack of direction, but in reality, it’s a testament to our nimble team that can help our partners, both state and commercial, respond to market needs. We meet as a team each month to review board meeting updates, as well as current projects and company focus. We have a very positive outlook and are certainly not operating at a loss. Just to clarify, the company didn’t have two rounds of layoffs in 2016, though that may have been the impression. There was a down-size that occurred within our sales centers located in Phoenix, AZ and Atlanta, GA and those impacted were mostly contractors. They understood that their employment was not full-time and knew it was temporary to assist consumers during this year’s open enrollment. It is a common practice in the Health Insurance Industry to ramp up during Open Enrollment then to ramp down the work force once busy season ends. We do appreciate your feedback and have shared it with a larger group within the company to continue our practice of open communication.

Worst Work Life Balance Ever

Pros

They provide catered lunches on Tuesday and Friday. There are birthday celebrations which occur once every month.

Cons

Two rounds of layoffs have already happened, and people working there are in constant fear, that another one may happen soon. Many capable engineers have worked continuous nights without proper recognition and rest. Many projects are planned for release without proper time to test and verify all the defects. The upper management always has the attitude that “We will fix the issue, once it happens in production”. Constructive criticisms are always good for every employee, but over here, the management criticize the employees openly in front of others. They don't have a proper HR Team, and the management gets away by shouting and scolding the employees in front of everyone else. The management team only require those employees who work “Heads down”. They only look for employees who listens to them without asking back any questions. It’s either their way of solving a problem, or no way. Working in H1 VISA in this company is one of the worst nightmares one can think of, as they know how to properly utilize and channel the fears of H1 employees to their advantage. They know that H1 employees can be shouted at and more work can be given to them, as the H1 VISA is tied to their job. All H1 employees are in fear, that if they say ‘no’ to something, then the next day they could be fired, and they need to look for a new job ASAP. Join this company only if you do not want to have a proper work-life balance, and if you want to be scolded at, in front of others, if you didn’t respond to an email he might have sent you on Sunday 11:00 pm night. All emails sent from management team need a prompt and quick reply or else you may be made fun of, the next morning at work.

We’re sorry you had a negative experience working with us at GetInsured. Just to clarify, the company didn’t have two rounds of layoffs in 2016, though that may have been the impression. We reduced the staff of contractor-based employees in the Atlanta call center due to the seasonality of our business. Since they were contractors, they understood that their employment was not full-time and knew it was temporary to assist consumers during this year’s open enrollment. As far as work/life balance, as well as your claim of how employees in certain departments may have been treated, we take these comments very seriously and want you to know that we have been looking into the situation. We aim to have a happy, team-oriented work environment and the behavior you noted is obviously not conducive to our culture. GetInsured is a small company that does not require a large HR team. The HR staff in place is, and will continue to be, focused on new initiatives that continue to foster team interaction, the sharing of information and implementing new benefits for existing employees. Thank you for your feedback. It’s through open communication that we can continue to grow as a company.
