Pros

One of the key benefits this company previously offered was the ability to work remotely. However, this is no longer the case. The majority of employees have now been required to return to the office (4-days). If remote work is important to you, be sure to ask your recruiter specifically how many days are expected on-site, as current job descriptions and advertisements do not reflect this change.

Cons

This company places a higher value on office politics than actual performance. Hardworking, capable employees are often overlooked for advancement, while less competent individuals are promoted. Despite doing the right thing, recognition and fair compensation are rare. The organization has undergone multiple restructures and layoffs—often letting go of high-performing employees, even in 2025, while still touting its success. HR and Talent Acquisition are not supportive resources for employees; many in HR appear disengaged or unwilling to help. It’s important to remember they are here to protect the company—not advocate for you. The Talent Acquisition department, in particular, is in serious need of a complete overhaul. Management seems disconnected from employee expectations, particularly around workload and compensation. If you’re comfortable working below market rate, being micromanaged, and having little job security, this might be the place for you. Various departments lack accountability and integrity, leading to a frustrating work environment. Employees are often delegated tasks outside their scope or unrelated to their roles, with little regard for workload or job alignment. FYI, no career advancement.

Pros

Covista is an organization that has a clear vision and does well in actively pursuing that vision. Covista is willing to adapt, try new things, and trusts its employees to find success. When Covista has fallen short of goals, they have been honest about it, quickly pivoted to address those areas, and then celebrate when we achieve goals. Overall - I am very happy here at Covista. My favorite part of working here is the people. Covista has a culture in which care isn't a buzzword, but is practiced.

Cons

I do wish Covista was more relaxed with RTO expectations. I am not angry about it, and generally am in favor for an in office experience, but wish it was not 4 days a week. 3 days a week feels right. This is a very small 'con' as generally, I am very pleased with Covista.

Pros

Covista is positioned in exactly the right industry. There is a massive, structural gap between the supply of healthcare providers and the growing market demand, which keeps our student enrollment rates incredibly strong and provides great job stability. It feels great to work for a company that genuinely helps students achieve their goals while solving a real-world problem. On top of that, leadership is highly focused on innovation—we are actively working on some really exciting AI initiatives and forward-thinking tech projects. The culture is incredibly supportive, leadership is strong and transparent, and the work-life balance is excellent. Highly recommend working here.

Cons

With rapid innovation and new tech initiatives, navigating cross-departmental alignment can sometimes take a bit of time, but it’s a natural part of a company growing and evolving in the right direction.
