Good Mission, Good People, Not for Everyone

Pros

Parsley Health is full of good people and has a good overall culture. It never felt toxic or bad. While work life balance isn't always the best, Parsley Health genuinely cares, and actively try to prevent it,

Cons

I have worked at all sorts of start-ups in various stages. I have never seen a company that is so erratic and full of chaos. What makes it so hard is the company does so many things right. The employee turnover is just so high that there is no institutional knowledge, so priorities and initiatives seem to shift and change as people come in and out of the company. Engineering is like a start-up inside a healthcare company. This sounds great, but from an engineer's point of view, you end up with all the cons of a typical start-up but none of the pros. Everything is top-down, with no iteration, no experimentation, no autonomy, average pay, no stability, no motivation, and undersized resources. Employee turnover. It speaks for itself, and has all sorts of ripple effects. Sure some of the turnover is our current work reality, but it was bad before the great resignation. Maybe the turnover is within normal standards, but it inside the company it doesn't feel like.

Thanks for sharing your insights. We’re thrilled to hear that you appreciate the culture we’ve built. Our employees are instrumental in creating our culture and our impact to member outcomes. We understand that employee turnover has a ripple effect on employees and day-to-day work, and we are actively working to lessen turnover across the organization. The recent executive hires, specifically me and the CTO, are rolling out programs that help empower employees so they can make an even greater impact to the company.

Parsley's response to "avoid Parsley. it’s bad for your health" is all you need to read to understand the toxic culture

Pros

Some nice and fun team members.

Cons

Many, more than I care to spend time writing about here. But management's response to a recent negative review is really all you need to know to "get" why this place is toxic. The response proves many of this reviewer's points. It is defensive, calculated, and tone deaf... which are three words you could use to describe the leadership team here. Avoid!

Great Talent, house in flames

Pros

- The people: worked with some of the best, most talented professionals in my career. - Opportunity for learning: PH's tech stack was quite modern and exciting. Lots of opportunity to grow as an engineer. - Mission: The medical mission of holistic, root-cause based healthcare seems genuine.

Cons

- 5 rounds of layoffs in 2 years has cut departments like engineering and design team by quite a lot more than half. Long tenure professionals are let go. New hires have no motivation to stay and resignation rate is high as well. Parsley is in a constant people crisis. - Work culture and people dynamics are rapidly deteriorating. People are tired, morale is low, and there is no sense of belonging to the larger team. With looming layoffs and the sense job insecurity, interpersonal relationships feel more and more cut-throat and antagonistic. - Macroeconomic environment: PH is suffering from the larger financial crisis affecting the tech/VC sector at large, obviously. - Disconnect between Medical/Operational leadership and Product/Engineering: CEO seems to care about the former and not much about the latter.
