Pros
* Really smart engineers that can do some amazing work when given the chance * Interesting mixture of health IT products and media assets rolled into somewhat of a common mission of enabling people to better know and control their health by the use of new technology - in Sharecare's case a voice stress app (for now - see cons) * Star studded investors (Dr. Oz is a co-founder) and partnerships with leading health organizations due to founders' celebrity status and connections * Modern office and amenities in an upcoming swank shopping district (The Shops Buckhead) * Macbook pros even for non designers or developers * Motorized standing desks
Cons
* Lack of transparency from upper management on a consistent mission and goals * No clear long term vision of where the company is going and what the company wants to be when it grows up. Priorities change often. * Sudden re-organizations, which means lay-offs that come out of nowhere affecting employees' morale with no clear explanation on why * Upper management not very open to the "common folks," which is uncommon for a self- proclaimed startup probably due to the celebrity level status * Disjointed coordination among acquired companies with unclear priorities. Often, acquired companies' technology become the flavor of the month * Cramp office space despite being new * Location is not ideal unless you live around the Buckhead area * Dr. Oz's poor perception among healthcare professionals can be a distraction
