Pros

I have been a part of a handful of mission driven companies before, and this is the first one that consistently invests in truly doing what is best to achieve the goal of reversing diabetes for 100 million people by 2025. I have been in meetings where the decision being made is centered around "what would be best for our patients"-- a testament to the desire to really serve those for whom we are building the company. Management takes the mission seriously and is consistently open to feedback from teammates on the best way to solve problems. the work is hard, but incredibly fulfilling. I get to see a lot of the patient feedback and am so proud of the impact that we have. I look forward to going to work and partnering with really kind, smart, mission-driven people to solve a major issue in the world.

Cons

The work can be challenging, and I think each employee has to figure out the right balance for themselves. Also, there is always a lag between when we are working on something and when it might get built into the technology, so that can be tough.

Pros

Remote working, having the ability to mute your microphone during waste-of-time propaganda meetings. Benefits for L&D, and work at home stipend.

Cons

Any role that is Member facing is treated like trash. When they post positions, the sum total has often been 2-3 million, with the absolute lowest salaries being those helping Members. That says a lot- but then again, it's a for profit healthcare company, so that says it all. Every meme/satire or TT you've ever seen about toxic corporate workplaces are made because of places like Virta. Every manager, associate director and director share skillsets with snake-oil salesmen of old. They talk and you're aware they're using poor manipulation techniques that just give you the creeps. Nothing matters. High performers, low performers, those who have second jobs who don't even do their job- doesn't matter. You're all the same to them. They'll find a carrot to try to dangle- like 3 percent peanut butter raises. They abhor internal promotions, so it's a dead end job, no matter how much you demonstrate your value with metrics, skillsets, education, and experience. During hiring they sing a song about promotions, growth, new company, yadda-yadda, but it's all a lie. There's no communication between teams, and tribal knowledge rules. The left had has no idea what the right is doing. It honestly feels like a money laundering operation for people who know directors to get insider jobs. Run.
