Color reviews

Color is everything that’s wrong with Silicon Valley getting into healthcare. What started as a novel genomics company who then hitched a ride on Covid-19 has progressively devolved into a bunch of Sales-lead quasi-healthtech wannabe McKinsey types running the show with little to no real-world understanding of how healthcare delivery actually works in America — yet they feel entitled on telling anyone who will listen how “healthcare can be fixed by Color” i.e. by employers giving their employees colon cancer tests (“high-fives all around, we did it guys!”). Everyone there in director level and above is also high on each other’s supply — of sniffing each other’s farts full of entitlement and healthcare buzz words. One month the flavor will be essential care, then behavioral health, and so on with the common denominator that: 1) they all stink, 2) make no profit, and 3) that another company already does it way better. If you’re still there, ride that inflated salary until the wheels fall off. If you’re thinking of working there — well this train derailed a long time ago friendo.

- Product direction and engineering initiatives lack focus - Heaps of technical debt and a code base that's becoming bloated - Not much opportunities for growth and learning - Burn out is common
