Pros

The pay is decent and my work was high visibility.

Cons

I worked here for a while and was impacted by mass layoffs, but left on good terms. Applied to multiple roles with multiple people from the company sending emails to the hiring team for each job I applied to. Each hiring manager got like 5 emails of support of my candidacy. Phone screen with a recruiter for 1. Never interviewed for the other 2. They repost my EXACT job about 4 months after lay off. I apply, tell my old team that I want the job. New manager of the department knows I held that job, has heard and seen all the good work I did for the department, doesn't even interview me. Recruiter I talked to loved me and tried to get feedback because it was a no brainer, after all, I already held that role, knew the systems and the players, left on good terms, etc. Feedback she gets is that I am not qualified or some such nonsense. When I had already held that role and crushed it. DO NOT APPLY HERE. They don't care about you. They overextended themselves with expansion and will probably have to make more cuts and won't hire as many people as they need to. You will be overworked and it won't get better anytime soon.

Pros

The mission is meaningful, and many employees genuinely care about the clients and caregivers they serve. There are talented people throughout the organization who work hard and do their best despite significant challenges. Remote work flexibility is also a positive.

Cons

The company struggles with consistency, accountability, and communication. Priorities frequently change, decisions are often made without considering operational impact, and employees are expected to adapt with little guidance or support. There is a noticeable culture of favoritism. Opportunities, visibility, flexibility, and influence often appear to be driven more by relationships with leadership than by performance or results. Employees are not always held to the same standards, which creates frustration and damages trust. The organization relies heavily on employees to compensate for process gaps, staffing challenges, and system issues rather than addressing root causes. As a result, burnout is common and turnover remains a challenge. Frequent restructuring and shifting priorities make it difficult to build momentum, retain institutional knowledge, or execute long-term strategies effectively. Employees are often asked to do more with less while receiving limited transparency around decisions that directly impact their work. For a company that depends on dedicated employees to drive results, there is often a disconnect between leadership messaging and the day-to-day employee experience.
