Continues to Give Us False Promises

Pros

Some people are great to work with.

Cons

When I first joined, I was shocked at how uncompetitive benefits and compensation was at Ceribell (only got medical and nothing else). Since then they have added 401k match (pretty weak) so I will give them that. Throughout my time here it seemed like they were going to give us more and I genuinely thought they were going to deliver since it seemed like our voices got heard. I am speaking about a promised market adjustment to all our underpaid salaries, this was the number one complaint from all employees (shown on our annual company feedback). So what went wrong? They decided to not offer it to many employees and no explanation as to why. Instead, they offered 2% to 3% "merit" increases on base salary which is an absolute joke. I thought this just happened to me but after hearing the same outcome from several colleagues, there is clearly a trend here. Just to be clear, I am not asking for "big tech money" but rather something in between and fair! We are technically a tech company in the medical space after all! To sum things up, just know if you decide to work at Ceribell, you will feel like you are working for a cheap company that does not like to spend money on their workforce. Yes you will get medical, 401k match and free food on Thursdays (at HQ) and while those things sounds enticing, trust me nothing but a cheap mentality here.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. In the past three months, we've added a 15% discount on Ceribell stock (ESPP), a 401k match that exceeds market standard, an annual equity refresh and we overpaid the company portion of our annual bonus. We pay for performance, so people that exceeded expectations saw demonstrably larger salary adjustments and bonus payouts. Additionally, we reviewed market data and made market adjustments to individuals who were below market and had strong performance, impact and other factors (that were shared with the company at the All Hands). We'd encourage you to discuss your concerns about lack of a market adjustment with your manager. We’d also like the opportunity to address any other concerns you may have. If you're open to it, please contact People@ceribell.com—we’re always looking to improve and ensure the best possible experience for our employees at Ceribell.

Pros

The product has a meaningful impact by helping clinicians better care for patients experiencing seizures.

Cons

In my experience, the environment felt high pressure from the start and is ongoing, and there isn’t much ramp-up time for new employees. Expectations to deliver results come quickly and will greatly increase during your time there. Because of that, workloads become heavy and it’s not uncommon for people to work longer hours just to keep up with the pace. The atmosphere has tension, especially when priorities or expectations shift quickly. Communication from leadership often times isn't clear or consistent, which makes it hard to stay aligned on goals or understand exactly how success is being measured. When things don’t go as planned, the pressure moves downward and there is blame rather than being addressed more collaboratively. During my time there, I also witnessed frequent turnover across different roles and levels. When people are coming and going frequently, it makes it harder for the remaining people to stay motivated and feeling secure. For employees who are still trying to get established in their roles, that can create uncertainty and anxiety. There are many intelligent and hardworking people at the company, and the mission itself is meaningful. However, the pace, expectations, and overall dynamics make the environment challenging.
