Thanks for sharing your feedback. We do love our snacks and massages! And we hear from many people on the team that having the opportunity to get a broad range of experiences is a big plus of working at Thrive. We work hard to attract and retain great people, and of course, there are times when Thrivers decide to move on, but our turnover is in line with the norms for a fast-growing start-up. One of our top cultural values is to practice "compassionate directness," which means that we empower employees to surface issues and share feedback immediately, being as open, transparent, positive and productive, as possible. Our team is growing every day -- both with talent from the outside and with new opportunities for our existing team -- and we are proud of the culture we are building.

Pros

Working at Thrive Global has been one of the most rewarding chapters of my career. I’ve had the opportunity to work cross-functionally with smart, passionate teams who care deeply about both business performance and human well-being. There’s a strong focus on innovation, especially around using AI to democratize access to behavior change and expert-level coaching, which makes the work feel cutting-edge and meaningful. Thrive strikes a rare balance: we move fast and iterate constantly, but we also respect boundaries, recovery, and taking time to reset. That makes this a sustainable place to do ambitious work — a rarity in the startup and health tech worlds.

Cons

As with any fast-growing company, priorities shift quickly. This environment is best suited for self-starters who are energized by building things from the ground up and don’t need rigid structure to thrive.

Pros

Benefits are great, pay is above average

Cons

Absolute worst company I have every worked for. Nepotism is high, environment follows high-school politics. Instead of focusing on the product (which changes every 6 months) the focus is on the CEO and her needs as an individual. Micro-management to the Nth degree, they employ smart people and then wear them down with pettiness. Promotions are arbitrary and dependent on if your liked, not how well you perform.
