Included Health reviews

Expect your pay and benefits to decrease on a regular basis. Promises the World, delivers on nothing. Get everything in writing, however, even then you will be advised at every turn (or change in pay) to “sign or resign”. Pay is not in alignment with even the lowest paying state (in the US). Worked there 2 years, had 5 changes in contract, each time with a decrease in annual compensation. Instead of “Included Health” it should be called “Excluded Health”, as if you are not an identified “minority” on their radar, you will be excluded.

The cons shared in other reviews are true and worth expanding on. -"Politics ruined our company": It's easy to get swayed by the charismatic company meetings and startup kool-aid, but beneath the surface and especially at the leadership level tactics like spying, bating, mind games, manipulation, CYA, intimidation, putting people against each other, and fear are used for political motives, ultimately creating a company wide culture that focuses on politics instead of good work. It's unfortunate and unnecessary. -"Cliques": As also mentioned in other reviews, GR is not a meritocracy. Being part of the inner circle cliques is much more important than qualifications. Politics, relationships and keeping people in leadership roles they'd never get elsewhere because of their friendships with the right people trumps quality work output, respect for professions and retention. Some call it "growing pains," but it's more reflective of poor decision making from management that will happen regardless of the stage the company is at. -"Leadership is focused on building a successful, venture-backed business, not on growing employees": Learning and advancement is mainly done on your own through doing work. Strong professionals, leaders, and managers at the top who educate, lead, inspire, motivate, pass along their expertise, and have both the hard and soft skills to be in those positions are lacking.
