Pros

Arianna Huffington as the face of the company gives us huge advantage to closing a deal. I'm sure our sales and csms are great, but nothing like a ceo connecting you to the top execs from the customer side to get them sign up with thrive. Capitalism networking and billionaires helping each other out sometimes make me cringe, but it pays the bills so I shouldn't feel so high and mighty about myself.

Cons

There's a reason why the entire leadership left more than a month ago and we will never know why. I think we need some seasoned leaders to fill in the gap in some pillars. It's funny how the top leaders get to fast track their promotion because somebody else quit. But engineers remain the same level and it's quite hard for them to be promoted unless they do some crazy mind blowing stuff in their work, but others don't need to go through the same level of expectations.

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.
