Pros
I've met some wonderful people here.
Cons
As others have noted, Thrive is run by a CEO who is focused on optics rather than results, and her insistence that employees should find joy in their work comes from a misinformed place of privilege. Leadership doesn't give employees autonomy, so calendar surfing is standard from the leadership team. DEI is an absolute afterthought internally, which can be observed in the percentage of white employees versus BIPOC. The culture itself is one of toxic positivity, where tenured employees fawn and coo over mediocre product updates. Employees across departments are incredibly burned out and distrusted, and showing up as your authentic self gets you into trouble. The product itself is not innovative for the market and there is no data to back up the claims it prevents burnout, despite the importance of data in the wellness space.
