Pros

A solid mission of providing health benefits in a way that can lead to individual wealth. The mission is where the pros list ends on the product and engineering side of the company. The operations side of the house seems like a solid place to work, and the team members in those groups seem dedicated and genuinely happy to be here.

Cons

Engineering is lead by a bully CTO that has transitioned from a healthy amount of product growth to a fear driven culture with so many oversights and roadblocks to delivery that literally nothing gets done on many “teams” in a matter of less than a year. I quote teams because an unjustified RIF had already crippled a lot of them, and what we really have is pairs of engineers trying to do the work of 5-7 people. The amount of pointless meetings is insane and inane, across the board. Cutting your entire Test engineer organization, and then expecting an increase in quality just means nothing is delivered.

HealthEquity Inc. Response

Thanks for providing this feedback, which we will share with our technology leaders. We are glad to hear that you resonate with our remarkable mission. Following the hire of our new CTO last year, HealthEquity began a technology transformation. That transformation has unfortunately necessitated reductions in force in our Technology Department that helped us realign our skill strategy with our future-state vision. Those decisions were made carefully, applying specific business criteria, by the appropriate senior leaders. We encourage you to take any remaining concerns to your leaders or the People Team. We appreciate your contributions.

Pros

From the very beginning, the experience felt welcoming, thoughtful, and well organized. The recruitment process was smooth and informative, and every interview felt like a genuine opportunity to have real conversations and build meaningful connections. The team was incredibly supportive throughout both hiring and onboarding, which made the transition feel seamless. A great example of the company’s culture is Trailhead, an experience designed to bring new hires together early on and help them connect, learn, and feel part of the organization right away. It’s clear there is a lot of intention behind how employees are supported, especially when it comes to building connection from day one.

Cons

Still early in my time here, but no major cons to note so far.
