Engineering Management communication style growth mindset - Software Engineer Parachute Health Employee Review

Great company, they really care about your well being and growth.

Pay was a little low for the work done as part of the merch team.

Healthcare mission has potential impact Some talented individual contributors

This was honestly one of the worst places I've ever worked. The company was obsessed with tracking every "employee productivity" metric imaginable, which made the work environment feel suffocating and stressful. It seemed like they would always demand more output from teams without considering that their own actions or lack of leadership could be causing problems - like constantly changing directions and never having a clear plan for where we were headed. The whole experience left me questioning how much leadership actually cared about employees, especially after they laid people off in early 2025. Sometimes layoffs are necessary, but the timing, execution, and obvious setup left me feeling sick to my stomach.
