Pros

Some people that work for Healthie are absolutely wonderful- but 90% have been let go. The only benefit they provide is paying for your subway pass, which is taxed. You receive an insurance plan that you have to pay out of pocket to use. Oh, you also get to provide your own laptop and drag it back and forth every day on the subway, since they do not have any for employees!

Cons

Stop reading this and apply somewhere else if you'd like to keep a job or move up in your career in the next year because unfortunately, Healthie will most likely not be around by then. Everyone at Healthie is in their 20's, including management. There is no business wisdom at this company nor does anyone have any knowledge when it comes to managing people. One week, management is nowhere to be seen, and the next they are down your throat micro-managing your every move. There is no consistency here. The lack of experience will ultimately be the downfall of the company. The line most often heard in team meetings from management is: " We don't have all the answers but hopefully we can all figure this out together!" This is not a comforting message to hear day in and day out from management, while everything is falling apart. During my time at Healthie, I witnessed 4 different period's of 'firings'. These would happen every couple of months, without any warning or notice. During the first firing, almost 50 percent of the company was let go, without any explanation, in the middle of the day. The CEO, Erica has no regard for her employees. Everyone is truly just a number to her, no matter how long someone has been at the company or how hard they worked for her. She let everyone go without any severance or any benefits. Erica will sell you on her story, which truly makes you believe in the mission behind Healthie, but do not be fooled. She will do whatever it takes to get someone through the door, even by stretching the truth about what your position will be and opportunities for raises and bonuses. After the interview is complete and you've been hired, she will seem like a completely different person who has forgotten all the things she promised you. Salary is anywhere from 40-60% below market value depending on your position. Raises and bonuses are scarce to non-existent. "Growth" consists of taking on someone else's work who was fired. Both providers and clients are constantly upset about the growing number of issues that people experience on the platform. These problems range from the site crashing to countless bugs, which rarely get solved. This makes it very hard for sales, success or marketing to do their jobs properly since these problems are completely out of their hands. This also makes for a miserable day-to-day for whoever is speaking with clients as they will direct all their frustrations from the platform at you. There is simply not enough manpower or experience to solve the tech issues that occur every day. The tech team works tirelessly and are rarely rewarded. Overall, you should look elsewhere if you'd either like to be respected in your position or if you'd actually have a job in the next year. The truth is - there is no money left in the bank, they are hanging on by a thread.

Pros

I’ve had the privilege of working with many leadership teams throughout my career, and this is one of the strongest and most supportive I’ve experienced. What stands out most is the executive team’s humility and commitment to continuous improvement. They work incredibly hard, actively seek feedback, and are genuinely open to changing course when presented with better ideas or customer insights. That level of self-awareness and willingness to learn is rare. The culture across the company is equally impressive. Teams are empathetic, collaborative, kind, and deeply passionate about serving our customers. People care about one another and are united by a shared mission to improve healthcare outcomes. I’ve also been consistently impressed by the product’s flexibility and the pace of innovation. The company has thoughtfully embraced AI across the organization to drive efficiency and deliver more value to customers, while continuing to invest in the core platform. No company is without challenges, especially during periods of rapid growth, but I’ve found leadership to be transparent, receptive to feedback, and committed to building both a great product and a great place to work.

Pros

Great folks in the engineering department, and a lot of talented people with high tenure. People tend to either stay here for a while. Benefits are pretty good, I've never had questions about taking time off. Your experience will vary heavily by team. For me personally, I don't feel pressured to deliver fast or work long hours or anything. Company is experiencing a lot of growth and has a pretty unique value proposition (headless EHR but with a well-designed UI and mobile app). I like that I get to work on interesting software with cool people. There's a lot of stipends you get, eg. a WeWork membership is really nice. CEO, management, and leadership genuinely care about the product and the culture. CEO especially is extremely nice and wonderful to interact with. A lot of the engineers have kids, have a life outside of work, etc. It's not a bunch of new grads, folks tend to take work life balance a bit more seriously as a result. There are technical problems to solve, scaling challenges, etc. But the company is committed to hiring people to fix it.

Cons

A lot of teams feel overpressured to deliver features, and end up using AI to turn out slop PRs that make my job harder. Depending on the team, there is an expectation to deliver deliver deliver, and an assumption that throwing AI at the problem will somehow make it be solved faster. But the AI code combined with lowering review quality has caused an increasing number of incidents over the past several months. I wish folks felt more empowered to say no to features, or to slow down. The shipping velocity is extremely high, which has caused a higher # of issues. Very little time for proper technical work or code quality cleanup. I feel like if folks had more time to properly scope features they'd be able to deliver faster and more consistently. Little funding for stuff like conferences for technical staff. When they pay for travel you have to fly economy :( Leadership is fine. Haven't had much interaction with them. Memos earlier in the year about AI made folks feel more anxious, but generally things have been stable since then. Healthcare options are expensive with huge deductibles and no HSA unless you're on a $4k deductible plan. Also some of the worst healthcare I've had at a company. Unsure how much they can fix that.
