Pros

It was a great place to learn if you're into learning on the go. It's also a good entry company into health tech.

Cons

There was little in terms of strategic direction. While management was very nice, it was unclear where we were going. It didn't seem transparent and the constant stream of advisors and mentors didn't really help. It also felt odd that the majority of the workforce were internship students with no learning plan or mentorship in place. There was also little in terms of helping employees and interns grow. And internal people operations were lacking. Hopefully it's better now.

Pros

-Work closely with CEO -Young and energetic coworkers, as most are students

Cons

-Unbelievable lack of focus- is it a data or saas company? -Inconsistent pay, was late by weeks almost every month. This DESTROYED team morale -Unpaid vacation, little to no perks you expect from a startup, including team nights -Ppl often paid for basic office supplies, such as hand soap or toilet paper or kitchen supplies, out of pocket and were not reimbursed

Pros

very flat company - will work alongside CEO, full-time employees, and interns making communication and collaborative work a possibility

Cons

needs better structure and direction - everyone seems like they're on different pages in terms of goals. Even though everyone is working in the same room, you'll have to take initiative to promote good communication and collaborative work across disciplines. Biweekly meetings were not enough to keep everyone on track. Feelings on being lost in the work and the purpose of the happened often.
