Pros

Some of the work is interesting and there are some great colleagues.

Cons

Agree with other reviewers that leadership often makes erratic decisions with little planning or communication. Most of the exec team do not understand the life sciences market that they are in, not only do they lack experience and integrity, they sideline anyone who does have either. I’ve seen lots of talented and hardworking colleagues get pushed out or had their careers stalled for trying to do the right things. It’s really a shame because there are some great people at the company who were drawn to the mission only to find out that the mission is really just a marketing ploy.

Thank you for taking the time to provide your review. I am sorry to hear that working at PicnicHealth was disappointing to you. We hope that everyone who spends time on the PicnicHealth team finds some - and ideally a lot - of value, no matter how long they are with us. We take the feedback from our employees very seriously, and have used it to make improvements over time (e.g. through our quarterly team pulse survey and 1:1 conversations with colleagues who share feedback live while they are on the team). Our mission and values, including our commitments to the patients and partners on our platform, are our north star - which is why ~90% of our employees feel proud to work at PicnicHealth. And why I am surprised, and saddened, by your experience. I hope that you have found a new role/employer where you can thrive. Thanks again for the time and energy you invested at PicnicHealth.

Pros

Really enjoyed my coworkers, they were super flexible on account of being fully remote, and the work was interesting

Cons

Got laid off along with around 1/4th or 1/5th of the company. They did not do it in a very professional manner. Locked me out of all accounts at 9am. Supposedly they sent an email to my personal account with some information about the layoffs but I did not receive it, so I didn't know what was going on until I got a meeting invite titled "Exit Meeting" to my personal email to meet with the CTO in 10 minutes. I also never got the opportunity to talk to my manager. I'm sure it is difficult to do layoffs as a remote company in general, but they did not handle it particularly well.

Thank you for your review. Your feedback is fair - both in terms of what you appreciated about working at Picnic, and what you didn't, given your specific experience during the layoff.
