Vantaggi

My co-workers and direct manager are the only things that make it worth working here.

Svantaggi

- They claim to be purple (from the book Purple Cow), which basically means they claim to value their employees and take care of them. But recent events show they couldn't care less about you. - They just laid off 10-20% of the software development department because they wanted "more skilled" engineers. They literally sent out an email the next day to the remaining engineers saying they wanted to hire new engineers to fill the vacated positions. Definitely purple. - Insurance premiums are the highest I have ever paid. - They have a large match for their HSA, but it is really your extra high premiums that pay for the match. - Claimed the switch to "unlimited" PTO was for employees. No, this was to clear the banked PTO off the accounting books so they don't have to pay it out when you leave the company. The problem isn't the amount of PTO, the problem is getting your PTO approved. - Busy season is during the Christmas holiday season so good luck getting time off depending on your job title. - Upper management has decided it is easier to blame the engineers instead of giving the engineers the time and resources needed to fix the problems with legacy code. - We end up duct taping new features onto legacy code instead of working on tech debt and then management wonders why things brake. And then they layoff engineers thinking that new engineers will fix the problems. - Jon Kessler (the CEO) told us outright that there will never be a Cost of Living adjustment at HealthEquity after being asked about raises in multiple All Hands meetings. - Via interest rate hikes the fed has handed HealthEquity hundreds of millions of dollars because they make money off your HSA dollars that they manage. You would think that would translate into benefits for the employees. Nope, the target raise percentage is about 2% so factoring in inflation and your paycheck just decreased by at least 7%, now that's being Purple! But the CEO's salary has almost double in the last 3-4 years. The rest of the C suite got nice raises too.

Svantaggi

Unfortunately, what has happened with most companies that grow too fast has occurred here. Too much focus on sales and marketing, and diminished focus on retaining clients or making sure new technology and processes are properly trained. Because of miscommunication and a lack of training, it's impossible to get help from other departments without a ton of pushback. Management would rather blame employees for problems than examine why processes aren't working properly. They now want all roles to sell product, even though that is not in their job descriptions. I wish HR would be more involved in how management speaks to employees because it's incredibly unethical and problematic every time we have a meeting. Whoever the C-suite is listening to on how to be good leaders should be fired, because they are taking a page out of every toxic workplace stereotype, instead of looking at how things can be ethically and properly fixed. There is no focus on clients or employees anymore, just getting more money.
