Pros
The mission is meaningful, and I had the opportunity to work with many talented, hardworking colleagues who genuinely cared about improving mental healthcare.
Cons
My experience was that the company culture prioritized internal politics over transparency, trust, and employee development. There was very little sense of psychological safety, and many employees appeared to operate under the belief that their jobs were constantly at risk. Rather than fostering collaboration and long-term growth, the environment often felt driven by fear and uncertainty. Turnover was consistently high, and it was difficult to ignore how frequently talented employees left or were replaced. The level of instability made it challenging to build trust, invest in long-term relationships, or feel confident about career growth within the company. From my perspective, these cultural issues did not appear isolated to individual managers. They felt systemic and were reflected in leadership decisions and the broader organizational environment. Whether intentional or not, the tone set by senior leadership had a significant impact on how teams operated and how employees experienced the workplace. Performance management often lacked transparency and consistency. Expectations shifted, feedback could feel subjective, and it was difficult to understand what success actually looked like. That uncertainty contributed to an environment where many people seemed focused on avoiding mistakes rather than doing their best work. I would strongly encourage prospective employees to speak with multiple current and former employees before joining to understand whether this type of culture aligns with what they are looking for in an employer.
