Thanks for taking the time to leave us feedback. This is not at all the experience we want for any of our team. We want each member of the team to know that HR and the management team is committed to solutions and listening openly and honestly. If you're open to it, we'd like to hear more about your experience to what we can address to improve the situation. Please feel free to reach out to me directly.

Content Team

Pros

Our core mission is to bring health and happiness to the world, which couldn't be a more inspiring reason to create things.

Cons

The content team is a mess. The leadership on the team is more concerned about ego than building creative content. For a company that is supposed to bring health to the world, the teams are awfully unhappy.

No Leadership or Vision

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

-Very flexible hours -Lack of vision and leadership makes for easy-to-hit deadlines -Lots of energizing and fun co-workers -Incredibly high pay

Cons

Despite the flexibility and slow moving nature of the company, this is not a place to grow your career. It's very easy to get stuck here hoping Leadership will either be replaced or finally learn how to run a company as you cheer for the mission, but you realize after a year that you stuck around because of the high salary and vision that will never come to fruition. Leadership is inexperienced and needs to be replaced. No one knows how to run a digital subscription company and the few external people brought in with this experience always end up leaving within months. The engineering team is a black hole that moves at an inexcusable pace given their size and nothing major has changed with the Product since I joined the team 1.5 years ago. We've tripled in size but the product has stayed the same. The company is burning cash and not producing subscribers.
