Business Outlook

Pros

For Clinicians: Flexible schedule, hybrid in-person/remote opportunities, above market-rate pay relative to productivity/caseload, local-level private practice feel, responsive management/clinical directors

Cons

The fee-for-service comp model is not everyone's cup of tea. Pay is based on productivity. Clinicians who want to work and be busy can easily earn above market rates.

Business Outlook

Pros

*The work feels meaningful — it’s clear that what we’re building has a real impact on people’s lives and mental health. *My coworkers are fantastic — smart, hardworking, and genuinely fun to be around. We know how to get things done while still cracking jokes and supporting each other. *Flex PTO and fully remote means I can actually take time off and live wherever I want. *The company is a great size — big enough that there’s coverage when someone’s out, but small enough that I don’t feel lost in the crowd. *Good culture and solid collaboration across teams. *I feel trusted to do my work without micromanagement.

Cons

*A large portion of the engineering team is made up of contractors, which can affect continuity and team cohesion. *We need more engineering managers to help support the growing workload and provide better support to devs.
