Pros

A few talented folks sprinkled throughout the company

Cons

Ro has a great mission and, from the outside looking in, seems to be promising. However, the reality is drastically different than what they try to sell you on. The tech debt is enormous and there doesn't seem to be any strategy or acknowledgment that we are completely lacking one. If you are unsure about Ro, please read the article by Tech Crunch -- "Employees detail rising tensions at Ro as healthcare unicorn struggles to grow beyond first win". Take it from someone who's been here for awhile, 95% of the article is spot on. If you're looking for a place with great culture, a company that actively works towards its vision and mission, leadership that values diversity of thought and understands product development, and an environment that is psychologically safe and rewards employees who know how to live balanced lives, please look somewhere else. Ro is not your place. You will be very disappointed and most likely burn out. Every other day we hear of another resignation or someone getting pushed out. The entire experience has been unsettling. Although there are a few red flags, it's not until you immerse yourself that you realize how deep the issues run. Don't join a company that others are scrambling to leave.

We’re so sorry to know that you’re feeling this way, especially as a current employee at Ro. Our views on the Tech Crunch article are well-reflected in Z’s Medium post and the various feedback channels we have - both pre and post article - continue to reflect a culture that is not experienced in that way by most people working here. That said, if you are feeling this way, we sincerely hope you’ll make the time to talk with us in more detail about the experiences you’re having that lead you to feel this way. If you’re looking for a place to start, we have a Notion page dedicated to the available feedback channels and we have an upcoming Culture Survey as well. You can also feel free to reach out to your manager, the people team or the founders at any time. We would welcome the opportunity to talk directly and to learn more.

Pros

The pay and ability to work remotely. Also they let you use a lab top which is nice.

Cons

Favoritism. I hit all my metrics and then some, 174% over and yet my contract was not extended and they would not provide one reason why other than their blanket corporate statement.
