Headspace reviews

- New CEO has destroyed the culture that kept so many people on board at Headspace. We have always been a fast paced and high growth environment, but most have stayed because of the work/life balance perks like MindDays and no meeting fridays. The new CEO has taken all of those away, along with eliminating integral roles within the organization, resulting in even more work for those of us who survived the layoffs - Moving therapists away from benefits-eligible positions to contractors will severely hurt the quality of care given to our members. Pre-merger, Ginger stood out in the market because of the way we took care of our care team. With the latest decisions, it is clear that our care team is disposable and we are just like any other EAP - The product is poor. Leadership in the product arm of the business is so focused on trying to make money through consumer subscriptions, that our b2b member experience is sub-par and confusing. - Leadership is lacking across the entire organization, with those at the top too focused on themselves and not their teams - Headspace has peaked, and now the focus on making money will further strip away every good thing about the product and the people. It is a sinking ship.

- Laid someone off during maternity leave - 4 rounds of layoffs in 14 months - $5,000 to $10,000 worth of benefits cuts in the last year - No bonus payout - No raises or promotions - HIPAA violations in companywide Slack channels by executives (everyone can see the PHI) - CEO’s friends get paid a lot to belittle their colleagues and talk down to people - Multiple people say they cry regularly related to working here - When they lay off therapists, they ghost the people with therapy appointments, which is traumatizing for those people. - Last time during layoffs an app user came out as LGBTQ and got ghosted because the therapist was laid off.
