Pros

Getting to work on a product that truly improves people's lives is a true privilege. Combination of significant financial upside while being able to deliver huge social impact. Culture is awesome -- people really care about each other and support each other -- there are no big egos. Management are approachable and friendly and also care about all employees. Comp and benefits are solid and the company has been very thoughtful about how it supports its employees through Covid (e.g. flexibility around work from home, every other Friday is a day off, alternate Fridays are no meetings days to allow for heads down work).

Cons

Some turnover among senior ranks has caused some folks to be unsettled, but I view this as upgrading of senior talent as the company enters a more mature phase (perhaps in advance of becoming a public company)

Thanks so much for letting us know how we're doing - I'm so glad to hear you are feeling positive about where we are, and the opportunities of continued impact (and improvement) that lie ahead of us. Your summary really shows that experiences can feel different employee to employee, team to team, function to function - I'm really keen and intent on playing a role in how we create more consistency around our employee experience as we all work together to do and be better here. As an organization, we are indeed 'growing up', which brings a level of change and evolution as we add new, specialist roles and more seasoned leadership at pace to support our scale. We recognize an opportunity for improved change communications management in this regard, and have recently released materials and resources to support our teams in communicating change more effectively as we continue on this epic journey. I really appreciate your callout on having a continued critical focus on whats working/whats not - and how must keep leaning into a 'Courageous Heart' feedback culture here; caring and holding one another to account -- and a 'Curious Mind' growth mindset as we sometimes to need choose progress over (or along the long road to) perfection Please keep your honest and constructive feedback coming in real-time as you see fit, via our All Hands Q&A sessions, or through our employee engagement survey cycles! Many thanks again for sharing your thoughts - SP Simon Perry Senior Director, People Operations + Places

Pros

-they offer great resources for members to utilize -continued education to sharpen your coaching skills

Cons

-there have been so many changes and expectations that are frustrating to navigate -they expect way too much for so little pay and no benefits -this role is so taxing on your own mental health... many of the members that you see aren't a good fit for coaching, so you're also filtering a lot of members for therapy and navigate really heavy mental health conversations that aren't within the scope of coaching -feedback isn't delivered live, it's all put in a spreadsheet that's clearly input by automation
