Pros

HealthTap is one of the few companies that alter the course of an industry. And it's mission to help people live happier, healthier, longer lives is something that invigorates all of us every day! The leadership is fully committed and is always there for the employees. In particular, I think Ron (our founder and CEO) is the most passionate and creative person I have ever worked with. He has an open door policy for everyone to talk to him about anything. He even wrote his personal cell phone number on the whiteboard so people could directly reach out to him. His feedbacks may not always be pleasing to the ears, but it's truthful and helpful and is meant for the greater good of the company. His vision and leadership is what has made HealthTap a winner! The company currently has great momentum and there is tremendous amount of energy in the engineering team. The work we are are doing is pioneering in several ways. The culture is very open and collaborative. There is a lot of focus on trust and transparency. It's really an honor to be part of such a team!

Cons

HealthTap is still a startup. So while there is a lot of energy there is certainly scope for improvement in areas such as project management and hiring. We need to hire a lot of people to staff all the initiatives we have and do it fast. But it takes time to find the right kind of people. The company used to have very few holidays, but that is being addressed.

Pros

Great product, lots of interesting deals in the works that will propel the company forward. Current leadership seems to have a good grasp on things. Pay is good, wlb is better than most.

Cons

There could be more HR initiatives, but that can also be a pro at times.

Pros

In my role, I work one on one with the CEO. I want to stress what a inspirational leader he is. It is a lot of hard work, but whenever I feel overwhelmed, Ron is supportive helping me strike a good work/life balance. He has an 'open-door' policy that many CEOs wouldn't even consider, where any employee can talk to him about issues they are having, which is great and truly lives up to the openness and transparency value. The people I work with are amazing, and I count many of then as close friends. Being surrounded by such positive energy and brilliant people from such diverse backgrounds makes me excited to come to work everyday. I enjoy spending time with them in the office, but also love our excursions to Santa Cruz to surf or going on coffee runs. We have cool perks and a fun culture. Part of my job is planning company events like picnics (we have the best griller!) and company movie nights. We also always have a plethora of yummy and healthy snacks. One of my favorite perks is the subsidized gym membership. It's great to take a break to go work out and come back to the office feeling energized.

Cons

-Not enough office space...we are constantly having to conduct interviews outside or taking calls in the hallway. -Good communication can often be an issue in a fast-paced environment. -Personally, I'm not a fan of the open office space. I find that I often get distracted.
