Had my worst experience here - Recensione dipendente - Software Engineer presso Wellness Coach

Collaborative team, helpful cross-functional partners, and opportunities to improve processes. Strong mission and lots of exposure to customer relationships, QBRs, and project work. Leadership cares and there’s room to take initiative.

Rapid growth sometimes leads to inconsistent processes and unclear ownership. Workload can spike depending on account assignments.

Lots of enthusiasm when you're first on-boarded...the honeymoon stage is STRONG! It was also nice to be given flexibility to bring in new ideas as well, which was refreshing. These benefits/vibes faded within about ~4 months, and the environment quickly took a 180 degree turn for the worse. This seems to be consistent with other reviewers here.

I was at first very excited about working here with the mission that was initially promised, etc, The employees were great as mentioned above, but leadership was the issue here I believe. Yes, you do have team meditations, outings, etc, but those are sandwiched in-between a demanding and toxic work culture. I was shocked at how different the proposed company values and actual practices of those values played out. All for-profit organizations are in business to make profit (duh!), however there needs to be a strong reasoning WHY behind one decides to start a for-profit business (or any business really!). If you're just doing it because you think "health and wellness" is a cool trend that you can financially benefit from, I believe that you end up with the result here at Wellness Coach. It's too bad because the mission up-front sounds great, but then you quickly realize that the real motives from senior leadership likely aren't aligned with the actual mission. The consistent employee turnover is evidence that the culture here is severely lacking. It's challenging to be successful building the culture of other businesses if you haven't put in the right effort and built a solid foundation for your own. Even though we always had team meetings/"All-hands"...I never found the vibe of those meetings to be warm and inviting...everyone seemed a bit quiet, reserved, etc...and that was even after the "ice-breaker" meditation!...I think this has a lot to do with how the company was lead. Most of what I read in that regard throughout these reviews seems to be an accurate depiction of what I also experienced.
