Headspace reviews

Very poor leadership, especially in the c-suite. During the latest round of layoffs, the only exec who was let go was the chief people officer. Really? The people department is the problem? They also let a ton of therapists go, making their clients feel abandoned, which was reported in the LA times. So mind-bogglingly dumb, as Headspace is attempting to scale up the care side to offer more services on the platform. Where is the accountability for the poor forecasting? Missed sales targets? CFO Sean Brecker has been around too long and seems to skate by, despite mis-forecasting year after year. CEO Russ Glass went on a long "boat trip" vacation to Costa Rica two days after the layoffs in June - totally tone deaf. The employees are a mix of kind, supportive and talented newer people versus the entitled, need for emotional baby-sitting legacy employees who complain about everything. One employee asked in an all hands why we were carrying almond milk in the fridges, because there's too much water used in it's creation. Seriously.

Benefits have been cut year after year with this most recent being the most significant. Insurance premiums increased $200+/mo for some plans, 401K cut from 4% to 1%, wellness benefit cut from $300, to $200 last year, to $133 this year, Dependent Care FSA contribution of $100/mo was cut, Unlimited PTO went to "Flexible Time Off" with the recommendation of three weeks. We are told that this year, only the care team received a 3% merit increase and no one else within the company got an increase. One long-term executive after another leaving the company. The care requirement has changed three times in 2 years. Initially 30 sessions/wk, then went down to 22, then up to 28, and now it is up to 30 again. Many employees on care team are unable to participate in company offered engagements (ERG, meditation break, trainings, CEs) due to having too much on their plates. Caseloads are unmanageable and intakes are happening with no availability for follow up sessions for 3 or more weeks sometimes. No screenings for acuity done prior to intake session. I could go on, but do I really need to?
