Challenging (in the good way)

Pros

Opportunity to learn plenty of new tools. No micromanagement. Make your case and get the job done how you like. Meetings often consist of players at different levels, which lets important voices be heard. Good salary, PTO, work-from-home benefits.

Cons

Pace of acquisitions is a bit quick. No significant 401k match. Stock options extremely weak. A bit meeting-happy.

Pros

Free healthy snacks like granola bars and such (even though they taste like paper). Free soda, such as Coke, Dr. Pepper, Sprite (ironic, since they give us supposedly healthy bars for snacks). People leave by 5pm everyday. Sometimes they don't even show up, and they tell everyone they "work from home". It's awesome like that.

Cons

Where to begin? People feel entitled here. They don't know any other industry. They have meetings for meetings about meetings. The VPs and Directors write up ridiculous marketing documents to make themselves look busy. It's all marketing jargon with no substance. HR is not confidential, and has in the past made fun of others. Too top heavy. Their acquisition of QualityHealth is a joke. What does QualityHealth even do? Someone should ask their President. The list goes on.

Pros

The free coke machine, foosball table, and ping pong table were nice. Oh, and I enjoyed the standing desks and lower frequency of meetings.

Cons

Some senior developers are stuck in the past. They want to embed JSTL code deep within .TAG within .TAG within .TAG for no apparent reason. If it's not being re-used, why not just code everything in the .JST? It made no sense and when I went against the standard I was talked poorly about behind my back to anyone with an ear. Eventually enough ears took notice and I was released from my position due to "lack of work". They did not once approach me to discuss any areas of improvement -- after speaking to another employee, he told me he was "scared to be fired every single day" -- which is a sentiment I heard often, especially after they lay off groups of 4-5 people at a time every few months. There's absolutely no job security with Sharecare and the management staff does nothing to help cultivate the behavior they want to see within their own team.
