Pros

The people here are really what makes Omada stand out. Just about everyone is smart and talented, but also incredibly friendly and approachable. This is a place where you can ask questions and have people actually want to answer and help you. Omada also really respects work-life balance and actively tries to promote and practice it, from the top down. This is a company that actually follows through with the "flexible vacation" policy and you'll be hard-pressed to find anywhere else that does this just as well.

Cons

Being nice seems to be a permeating requirement of working and succeeding at Omada, which can compromise discussions that require direct, straightforward feedback. It's a little ironic, given how honesty is one of Omada's core internal values. Disagreement and giving constructive criticism either has to be cushioned with a lot of positivity or is only taken kindly to when it comes from the top. Additionally, senior-level managers/execs can sometimes seem out of touch with what employees really care about in terms of the work, employing an attitude of optimism that can seem uninformed at best and alienating at worst.

Thanks for taking the time to share the feedback. We are indeed fortunate and grateful to have an amazing staff filled with smart, talented, mission-driven, kind, and approachable Omadans. My hope is that -- as you share -- our bias toward positivity isn't at odds with direct, straightforward feedback. I don't believe it needs to be. Step 1 to further this is the Omada Growth program, which as you know, our People & Culture team recently implemented. A big piece of this is to encourage our employees to give honest and live feedback, whether it be to their peers, managers, or direct reports. And in that vein, if you have any feedback about how the Omada Growth program is going, don’t hesitate to chat with me directly (I’d love to hear it!). In addition, in working with our managers and executives, we launched the Omada Manager Exchange in 2016 to give managers the tools to best support their team, and how to give feedback is of course a critical piece here. We’ll continue to build on this program in the coming year to alleviate some of that disconnect that you may feel now. Again, I’d love any feedback, positive or negative. Best, Sean

Pros

Benefits/expenses, remote work, nice coworkers

Cons

Where do I even start. The expectations for coaches have gotten out of hand and there’s no consideration for mental load. It feels like things just keep getting added on and added on and a lot of it is tied to this time tracking system that we can’t even see anymore. Even though it was framed like removing the time clock would give us more autonomy and less stress, we’re still being judged since it’s still there in the background anyway. Even though it’s clearly not a good representation of the actual time spent in-app. There’s also A LOT of micromanaging. Metrics are everything, and even when your metrics are good, something else gets pulled in. If it’s not metrics, it’s you’re not spending enough time in the app, or you’re not engaging enough with your work team, or you missed one small workflow from last week. It never really feels like you can just do well and that be enough. Even supervisors don’t always seem fully aligned with what the day to day work actually feels like now, since so much has changed since many of them were in the Health Coach role. So a lot of the feedback is disconnected from reality. Time off doesn’t feel fair either. We were encouraged to take time off during OT to manage mental load, but then when I actually did, I was told I took too much time off? It just feels like you’re stuck no matter what choice you make and you can’t really win here. And don’t get me started on the pay and how we’re about to be in what seems like a commissioned based pay system as if we’re sales. I’ve also tried switching roles within the company multiple times. No luck.

We appreciate you taking the time to share such detailed feedback. We are sorry to hear that your experience has felt overwhelming and, at times, discouraging. Your comments about workload, evolving expectations, and the mental load associated with the role are important, and we recognize how challenging it can feel when changes are not experienced as intended. Our goal in evolving tools like time tracking and performance metrics has been to support both flexibility and clarity, not to create additional pressure or a sense of constant evaluation. It is clear from your feedback that this has not been your experience, and that gap is something we take seriously. We are actively working to better align expectations, ensure managers are closely connected to the day-to-day realities of the role, and create more consistent, transparent guidance around performance and time off. If you are open to it, we would encourage you to connect with your HR Business Partner directly so we can better understand your experience and continue improving. Thank you again for sharing your perspective.
