Pros

Working on a challenging, high-impact problem, universal alignment around the company goals (helping people lose weight and reduce the risk of chronic disease), lots of autonomy and empowerment to do great work, delicious and healthy lunch and snacks.

Cons

Still a startup in it's adolescence, not a strong medium-to-long term product vision, teams can be siloed, no formal training or mentorship.

Thanks for taking the time to write this review on Glassdoor! I’m really glad you feel Omadans’ alignment around our mission; we are all lucky to be impacting people’s lives by helping them live free of chronic disease. Additionally, I’m happy to hear that your work feels challenging and impactful, and that you have the tools to do it well. There are always opportunities to improve, and I agree that communicating our product vision more broadly across the company, bettering cross-team collaboration and creating a more formalized training program will help us in the long run. We’ve created a cross-team collaboration task force to create more opportunities for Omadans to connect, and engagement surveys to keep us in check. Furthermore, our next review cycle will focus on development, ensuring that managers knows their direct reports’ long-term career goals so they can work toward reaching them together. If you have other ideas, I’d love to hear them. Thanks again for your feedback; it helps make Omada a better place!

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.
