Pros

- Some talented and hardworking employees at the individual contributor level - Decent benefits package - Flexible remote work policy

Cons

-Executive team is very green ,lacks clear vision and industry experience, resulting in frequent strategic pivots - Critical business decisions are made without proper market analysis or long-term planning - Resources are spread too thin across numerous competing initiatives - Lack of focus has led to missed market opportunities and declining performance - No product innovation, no product leadership - Poor prioritization results in constant shifting of goals and objectives - Teams are frequently reorganized before projects can be completed - Important strategic decisions are often delayed or reversed - Limited transparency around company direction and performance -Financial oversight appears to lack the seasoned expertise typically expected at this level, resulting in concerning cash management decisions and questionable resource allocation -The President specifically makes strategic decisions that reflect disconnect from market dynamics and customer needs, suggesting gaps in commercial operations expertise

Pros

Powerful mission, fun brand, cool history, talented teams.

Cons

Lack of clear growth path even after consistently expressing career goals. Leadership lied multiple times about layoffs. Reduction in benefits over the last year. For a mental health company, I expected a MUCH higher bar than this.

Pros

Honestly stayed for the ppl

Cons

was good before the merger happened... I wish leadership went for a more slow and steady scale rather than jumping the gun @ the view of a shiny dollar.... major growing pains I guess lots of cut backs
