Pros

Interesting work, friendly colleagues across institutions

Cons

The favoritism runs rampant here. Colleagues who are favorites of upper management, and for no other reason, are promoted into positions of power and abuse that power once received. Bullies who are favorites keep their positions and those that get bullied end up leaving because they are not the favorites-- I saw this happen with 4 employees in 2 departments. The company does not care about the well-being of its employees aside from the chosen favorites. This is apparent by the way that the company rolled-out RTO, cancelled summer Fridays and mental health day, and "reorganizes" so regularly that you never know when a colleague or group you work with will still even be at the company the next week, which makes employees very nervous (unless they are the favorites).

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.
