Pros

- extremely reasonable productivity standards (22 sessions a week, if you want more days off throughout the year after three weeks then about 25 is your sweet spot) , still get paid for no shows, cancellations. I've never been penalized for not making productivity as long as I have a good amount of available slots. - 2 mind days a month, you choose when, I am actively encouraged to use them - $3k yearly professional development stipend with all licensing fees paid by the company -$320 a month wellness benefit (from gym membership to dog food, vet bills, internet bills, hiking clothing, and a bunch of other stuff. The amount of expensable things is ridiculous) - Therapy management is always looking for feedback from clinicians and invested in quality client care -It's a tech company that is cautious and methodical about growth at the expense of quality of care. Scope out the entire problem, look at evidence-based solutions, and then act thoughtfully. "Move fast and break things" this is not. - Company culture is incredibly positive, from the CEO to everyone else. We're always encouraged to be open, flexible and the best versions of ourselves helping others, incredibly altruistic mission which feels different for a VC backed tech company - Diversity is lived and breathed in everything the org does. It makes us stronger and psychological safety is super important. -Very bright company future with the current state of the world. The unified Headspace + Ginger product is very solid and very competitive in the Digital Health Space -CEO's down to earth family man, send him an e-mail or slack and he'll respond and chat. Same with Chief People Officer. I imagine the rest of the C-Suite as well - transparency is super important, All-hands meeting we go over the financials and where the direction of the company is heading

Cons

-Current pipeline for W2 therapist career growth is lacking, but I'm told therapy management is developing this and I truly believe they are -I see reviews saying that leadership is not responsive, but on the therapy side I get none of that. From my manager up to senior therapy leadership that are constantly checking in to see what therapists need to do their job the best way. Many processes and procedures are still being made post merger, so if you're not up for some learn/evaluate/adapt as you go, this isn't the company for you.
